March 8, 201214 yr I started a nohup mv command from a disk to user share, totally fogetting about my cache drive. The user share a using this cache drive and the cache gets filled up. How can I stop this nohup job?
March 8, 201214 yr Set a minimum free space for the cache and the move will start going directly to the array once the cache reaches that setting free.
March 8, 201214 yr Author Thanks for that one, One other question regarding the mv command: will it overwrite existing files with the same name or must I tell it to do so?
March 9, 201214 yr Author Set a minimum free space for the cache and the move will start going directly to the array once the cache reaches that setting free. I set a minimum free space of 20.000.000, but this morning my cache drive had 0 free space left. Why? I guess this "mechanism" isn't working? I am on 5.0b12a
March 9, 201214 yr Author I didn't use the decimal points in unraid. I used them here to make things more clear, sorry.
March 9, 201214 yr OK. I don't know for sure why it didn't work then. I know there is a problem with the split level setting being forced onto the cache drive so that files which wouldn't split on the array disks also wouldn't split on the cache. In other words, if the split level doesn't allow the data to split on the array then it can't "split" off the cache onto the array and it keeps filling the cache ignoring the min free setting. I think this problem was found in a beta version. I don't know if it exists in 4.7 or earlier.
