Civic1201 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Hi there, I am trying to move data to reset my configuration for my cache pool. Started mover and it moved some data. Now there is zero activity on the drives and the mover button is greyed out. I reset the stats to see any changes but nothing happens. Quote Link to comment

Civic1201 Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 OK, maybe I found the root of the problem. appdata is on Disk1 and contains old data from a previous install. Can I just delete this and start with a new config? Quote Link to comment

If a file exists in more than one location it is up to you to manually decide which copy to keep and delete the other one. The Dynamix File Manager is probably a good way to do this. 1 Quote Link to comment

Civic1201 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 (edited) Yes, everything is now on the cache drive. Edited March 27 by Civic1201 Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 That shows that those shares have some files on cache. It doesn't show that appdata, domains, and system no longer have any files on the array. Quote Link to comment
Civic1201 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 I want to keep that shares on my cache drives only. I checked the disks of the server and could not find any "copies" of these folders/shares. Is there another way to check? Quote Link to comment

On the User Shares page, you can click Compute... for a share to see how much of each disk/pool is used by a particular user share. Quote Link to comment
Civic1201 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 (edited) Yes, appdata, domains, and system shares are only on the cache drive. edit: but I found this: These are emty folders on the disks. Is it safe to delete them using mc? Edited March 27 by Civic1201 Quote Link to comment
