csimpson Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Okay, so I'm trying to add an SSD to the cache pool. It was a drive used in my previous Windows 10 system and was formatted as such. I turned destructive mode "on" with the unassigned devices plugin, removed the existing partitions, started the array and tried to format while adding the cache drive. It gives me the error of: Unmountable: Unsupported or no file system I've attached the diagnostic log. Any ideas? fileserver-diagnostics-20240513-1449.zip Edited May 13 by csimpson Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted May 14 Solution Share Posted May 14 Device was busy, reboot and try to format again, that should do it. Quote Link to comment

csimpson Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 (edited) So I added the cache drive and tried to follow Space Invaders video but the "Included Disks: Prefer" doesn't seem to be there with or without the cache disk installed. Either way, I invoked the mover and I do see the side of the cache pool growing, but it's super slow.... 3.5GB in an hour or so. It seems odd to me that it's so slow and mover is still running. Here's a dashboard of my settings. I tried to copy a 30GB file to my share and it didn't seem to use the cache drive. Not sure what I'm missing and space invaders video is 7 years old. There are a lot of files for plex. A couple hundred thousand thumbnails, etc but this seems slow? Any insight or should I just be patient? Edited May 14 by csimpson Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Many small files take much longer to transfer Quote Link to comment
