January 10, 20251 yr Hi All, I have been looking at my shares setup and noticed I actually have a single "Downloads" folder which has a its own "Data" Folder but also a "Movies" folder The data folder is used for the arrs and has the following folders bin: completed: / 4K / Movies / Programs / TV incomplete: / Movies / TV The Movies folder holds all the movies which are then mapped to Plex. The share is setup as Primary: Cache and Secondary: Array with mover action Cache > Array Would I be better off moving the data folder to a seperate share and having that as Cache to Array and then leaving the Downloads folder as Array only for Primary Storage? Sounds dumb now but just installed a 2TB NVME cache drive replacing the existing Cruical 1TB MX500 SSD I previously had. Might as well get this setup correctly now I have some time.
January 10, 20251 yr Author So I have moved the data folder to its own share and set it as Cache > Array Then my Downloads folder which contains "Movies" is set to Array only Should probably just rename it as its not really downloads folder it's just storage after files have been downloaded using binhex-arrs. I do actually have another share called "Videos" with TV Shows in! This is probably where "Movies" should live? Would I have to manually have to move 40+TB to this or is there a better to do it or just leave it?
January 10, 20251 yr Author The following shares live on the NVME CACHE appdata domains iso system Assuming this is correct?

Are you sure those have all their files on a pool? Just changing the settings for the shares won't actually move anything already on the array. You can see how much of each disk or pool is used by each User Share by clicking Compute... for the share on the User Shares page.

Yes they are all currently on the NVME cache, when I installed the NVME, I changed shares to move from Cache to Array, installed the NVME then did Array to Cache I think other than the ISO folder the rest should be fine, so downloads will occur and stay in DATA which is Cache only and when mover runs it will move to Downloads/Movies which is array only
