Hi All: 

I'm a new user who has just created a cache drive.  The drive mounts fine in my Mac finder but the user shares do not show up inside the folder.  I'm assuming this is required to allocate moved files to the appropriate shares.

 

Help.....

 

Thanks.

Nope... just copy a file into the user share as normal.  You'll see it appear in the correct folder on the cache drive.  It'll disappear into the array each night when the mover script runs

 

Tom's designed the cache drive to be a seamless experience.  Just make sure that the mover is set to run and is working properly... remember, data left on the cache drive isn't protected by parity.

Thanks for the quick reply.  Here is what I am encountering:

 

1. I moved 45 HD movies to my previously created "Movies" user folder

2. Copying is taking 12 hours.

3. My cache folder is empty.

 

Are you saying that by placing my files into the Movie user share is the equivalent of copying to the cache drive seamlessly.  If so, should it take 12 hours to move about 430 GB.

Are you sure you have cache enabled for the share?

Is the cache drive bigger than the 430Gb?

 

Suggest you check your settings, then try things one at a time to see if they work

My cache drive is 2TB.

Minimum free space is set at 2000000

Mover schedule is 40 3 * * *

Mover logging is enabled

 

These were the settings applied by default and have not been adjusted by me.

I'm assuming that I will be unable to adjust and try this until my 430GB copy is completed.

 

 

Is the cache drive enabled for the share? Each user share has a checkbox that enables the cache for that share.

As dgaschk suggests, you should take a look at the share settings.  I suspect you'll see that it isn't enabled for the share you're copying to.

 

You can stop the copy, but honestly I'd just let it run its course. 

Thank you.  You are correct. The shares were not enabled.
