Sak Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I need to move around 43TB from Synology NAS to the Unraid array. There is an existing user share with cache enabled. Should I disable cache temporarily to write directly to the disk array or should I write to user0 without changes to the cache settings. Are there any differences between the two options?

Solution JorgeB Posted September 4 Solution Share Posted September 4 Both options will accomplish the same results. 1 Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 You could also write to the /mnt/user path (using the cache) as long as you have set a value for the Minimum Free Space for the cache pool to be larger than the biggest file you expect to transfer so it does not get too full. The time you get a speed advantage during initial load is when you have no parity drive yet assigned. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't want to fill up the cache as I have other docker containers writing and reading new data on other user share. I think I will use user0 to do the transfer. Quote Link to comment
