Giomni Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Hello All, I started using Unraid and purchased a Starter License recently (missed the window for older pricing). While messing around during the trial I didnt have a cache, only HDDs. I then learned how to set up a cache and want all of the Unraid system files (app data, domains, isos, system) to live on the cache. However, even after selecting PRIMARY STORAGE as cache, and SECONDARY STORAGE as none, mover doesnt actually do anything and all of the data is on one of my 20TB HDDs that doesnt ever spin down. The current docker/apps I have installed are prowlarr, radarr, sonarr, homarr, krusader, ombi, plex media server, tdarr. They are all "stopped" when I click mover and nothing happens. How do I move these system type files to cache? I have very little knowledge of how to use MC or Krusader but am willing to learn if thats what I need to do. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Nothing can move open files. Disable Docker and VM Manager in Settings. Attach Diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread Quote Link to comment

Solution trurl Posted March 28 Solution Share Posted March 28 12 minutes ago, trurl said: Nothing can move open files. Disable Docker and VM Manager in Settings. Also, Mover ignores any share where there is no Mover Action specified, which is what you have for all of those. appdata shareUseCache="only" # Share exists on cache, disk4 domains shareUseCache="only" # Share exists on disk4 isos shareUseCache="only" # Share exists on disk4 P-------e shareUseCache="no" # Share exists on disk3 P---------V shareUseCache="no" # Share exists on disk4 system shareUseCache="only" # Share exists on disk4 They need to be Primary:cache; Secondary:array; Mover Action:array->cache Quote Link to comment
Giomni Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Thank you Trurl! I didnt want to set a secondary write to any of the system files but didnt realize I needed to do that in order to move between array > cache. This solves my issue. Quote Link to comment
