January 30, 20251 yr Hi all, I'm pretty new to unraid. I set up my unraid server about a week ago, has been working fine. Last night I downloaded a bunch of 4K movies, assuming my Mover and my minimum 200GB free space setting would make sure my cache (2x nvme 2TB) would not fill up while I was asleep. Unfortunately, it did fill up 100%, and nothing seems to be working anymore. I've tried manually running Mover, but it gives me a bunch of BTFS errors. I tried manually moving my data folder, but logs tells me everything is read only. I tried manually deleting some movies through unraid and through my windows network tab, but it's not deleting anything. I did a bunch of googling, read through a few topics on this forum and on reddit, but I can't seem to figure this one out.

January 30, 20251 yr Community Expert Solution Needs to be set for cache so cache can overflow to the array, and for share, so share can choose another disk. But since you have only 1 array data disk, no other disk for the share to choose. Disable Docker in Settings until you get cache fixed. cache is readonly now so nothing can be moved from it. If you have anything you wish to keep on cache, copy it. Then you will probably have to reformat it before you can recreate docker.img, reinstall containers.

Alright, I'll properly set the cache minimum from now on, not a mistake I'll make again. I'm copying the stuff I want to keep and I guess I'll reformat. Thanks for your help.
