April 19, 201214 yr I see all this stuff about "you can use a cache drive" but I am not finding any "this is how you CREATE a cache drive". I emptied my smallest disk and removed it from the array and stopped the array. I am now searching through the GUI and see absolutely nothing in any of the 5 links - Main, Users, Shares, Settings or Disks that has anything to do with the cache drive. One would assume that it would be under Settings or Devices. Nothing that I can see. I have read the main part of this: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=1731.msg11937#msg11937 I have read this: http://216.119.154.106/wiki/index.php/Cache_disk Wouldn't ya think that it would be in here somewhere? I mean we are telling you all about this great feature... except ... how the hell do you actually DO IT? Lots of "you can" and absolutely no "and this is how you do it". Is it just me or is UnRaid UnFriendly? And what makes me feel like a real idiot is that I keep seeing messages about people who have done this. Which leaves me asking where they found the information to do so.
April 19, 201214 yr The problem you have is it's not difficult. You assign a drive to the slot and you say cache drive = yes. That's your howto. You've already posted in the bigger cache drive thread where you received all the info you need to do it : http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5754.msg174505#msg174505 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5754.msg174540#msg174540 As I said above there are the docs poor? yes. Are the community docs patchy? Yes. But fundamentally the cache drive is one of the easiest things for unraid which is why not many people have an issue. Follow the advice above, if you get stuck let us know expressly where and we'll help. Once *you've* done it to your satisfaction you can write the howto yourself.
April 19, 201214 yr To add at the stage you're at now, with the array stopped you need to assign the drive to the cache drive slot (as you would when assigning data disks..) If you need more specifics than that you need to let us know what version of unraid you're running.
April 19, 201214 yr You need a Plus or Pro license to use a cache drive. Then, it's an assignable disk under the Devices in 4.7 or on the main page in the beta.
April 19, 201214 yr Author OMG I just never looked all the way down at the bottom of that screen. Now I see the "Cache drive slot" it all makes sense. My irritation with UnRaid in general is that the documentation has all of this glowing "we can do this" kind of thing but it is extremely short on explicit steps. Take the following: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=1731.msg11937#msg11937 It has an entire huge page of what a wonderful thing it is but nowhere (that I can find) does it ever explicitly state. In order to create a cache disk using the GUI: 1) Stop the array 2) Click on "Disk" at the top. 3) Look at the very bottom of the page in the Disk Devices section for a disk 'slot' labeled Cache (the very last slot). 4) Select any disk not in the array into that slot. 5) Start the array Likewise in: http://216.119.154.106/wiki/index.php/Cache_disk I am here to tell you that had the numbered list that I include above been in either of those places this thread would never have occurred. >Once *you've* done it to your satisfaction you can write the howto yourself. IMO all that really needs to be done is have those two places edited to include the "how to" I created above. That at least gets the CACHE drive integrated into the UnRaid system.
April 19, 201214 yr IMO all that really needs to be done is have those two places edited to include the "how to" I created above. That at least gets the CACHE drive integrated into the UnRaid system. The wiki link you pasted is the community wiki. *You* have the power to update it / add pages / do whatever you want (within the overwatch of the wiki admins). If you've found it unhelpful / think the howto could be written - do it and add it to the wiki. You know what your pain in this process was and what the best way to disseminate and describe the solution is so stick it in the wiki for the next person to benefit from. This is very much a case of do as I say not as I do But, in seriousness all the things that you're upset about you can now directly fix to your 100% satisfaction. That has to be tempting.
April 20, 201214 yr Author >But, in seriousness all the things that you're upset about you can now directly fix to your 100% satisfaction. That has to be tempting. LOL. First of all you apparently haven't a clue what I am upset about. and second, it is tempting. So I went to the wiki. No obvious link for editing the thing. I have never edited a wiki before. I clicked "view the source" whereupon I am told that I am not allowed to edit it because I am not a member of the group "users". So now I get to chase my butt to try and figure out how to edit a wiki, and of course how to get permissions? So that I can fix sucky documentation for another company's product? When (apparently) you already know how to edit the Wiki and (if you cared) could have edited that thing in less time that it took to write an email chastising me for being upset about sucky documentation and telling me I needed to do it myself? You should understand that I am a consultant with a family to feed. When I chase my butt I am not earning money, which is what I am upset about. I already spent the better part of two full days on various UnRaid butt chasing, which equates to ... around $1000 in lost wages. It's not my Wiki, it's not my product, I seriously doubt I am going to lose yet more money on this. >This is very much a case of do as I say not as I do This is very much a case of "no one really cares enough to make the documentation right". Throughout my dealings here, there has been an attitude of "yep, the documentation sucks, deal with it." >As I said above there are the docs poor? yes. Are the community docs patchy? Yes. But do we care??? It seems not. I use UnRaid because it is cheap and just works. Except that if I lose 2 days butt chasing then it is suddenly *VERY* expensive. I spend all those hours butt chasing because that is what we do when we don't understand stuff, Google and read. It's not as if I didn't do my homework. My problem with all of this is that all of that time is simply wasted. I am not, nor do I care to be an UnRaid (or Wiki) Guru. I just wanted to do something that seemed simple, and in fact was simple once you pointed out where to go to do what I needed to do. But all the hours I spend reading UnRaid stuff are just wasted. I need to be reading on how to use Delegates in C#, how to Insert a record in SQL Server and get back the generated AutoID. Those things are what I need to learn to earn money, things that I will use over and over again. ANYTHING that I learn trying to get something working in UnRaid will be forgotten because I will never use it again. And the most galling part about it is that I spent hours dutifully searching through "documentation" that simply did not contain the answers, ANYWHERE. In business it is called "opportunity cost", time spent NOT doing what you need to be doing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost I kept reading because I just knew that the answer was in there somewhere. Not! So it becomes obvious that I need to just go back to work. I understand. Thanks for the attitude adjustment! I got my (very expensive) cache drive and I do thank you for your assistance.
April 20, 201214 yr When (apparently) you already know how to edit the Wiki and (if you cared) could have edited that thing in less time that it took to write an email chastising me for being upset about sucky documentation and telling me I needed to do it myself? So you won't spend your time doing it as your time is so valuable to you - but you fully expect me to do it for you instead? Given the time is money theme throughout your posts - sling me enough $ to cover my day rate and I'll gladly oblige. It might be worth also reminding you that I've posted now on two seperate threads trying to help you get this resolved. I would suggest I very much did care in trying to help you out - though that is very much past tense now. I use UnRaid because it is cheap and just works. Except that if I lose 2 days butt chasing then it is suddenly *VERY* expensive. I spend all those hours butt chasing because that is what we do when we don't understand stuff, Google and read.

At some stage money spent on the more user friendly product would have ended up saving you money on your time taken to get unraid where you want. I'll let you figure out the business term for that... I got my (very expensive) cache drive and I do thank you for your assistance. Good, I'm glad.
April 20, 201214 yr Wow, good job. Bitching that the community Wiki is bad and expecting someone else to contribute their time (and money) to fix documentation that you have a problem with and don't want to spend your time (and money) fixing. Maybe it's just you. After all, when I read about a "cache disk" I immediately figured out that I would be assigning the cache disk using the disk assignment page. Seemed very logical and intuitive to me. FYI, it appears something in the Wiki permissions has changed. If you are logged onto the forum, you should be able to edit the Wiki.
April 20, 201214 yr Try http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Cache_disk instead of that IP address you posted. Edit links all over the place on that one.
April 20, 201214 yr Pff... I guess you should buy a storage solution from a company that has a -large business- focus and support structure. IBM might be able to help you, will be more expensive then unraid but undoubtedly a lot cheaper then your precious business time so a good deal for you ! Btw.. when I went on a search to select my storage solution I checked out the support structure, the experiences other people had etc. etc. Just like you would do with an expensive contract... I found that unraid had what I needed, an open and active user community, an easy system but one that does need some tinkering (I like that actually). When I found that unraid was what fit me I forwarded Tom his daily bread :-) It's a good thing to research what you are going to pay for to make sure you get what you need (actually something that is pretty standard in business.....)
April 20, 201214 yr Author LOL. Guys the docs are bad. Bitching about me bitching about bad docs doesn't change that. Here's the deal. Any time that a person helps another person, that's a good thing. I appreciate the assistance here, I truly do. And... the docs suck. In fact the Docs don't exactly suck, they just don't do what I need them to do, tell me how] to do stuff. I do my own thing as far as helping people goes, it just isn't here. I was a foster parent for the state of Connecticut and adopted my two kids (Robbie 11 and Allie 9) out of the foster care system. I choose to do volunteer work in the prison system here in North Carolina (where I now live). I spend about 2 hours every Tuesday and about 5 hours every Thursday bringing AA meetings into the prison camps near my home. I check out three prisoners every week to take to my church on Sunday. THAT is where my heart and time goes. When I was done at the prison last night I met a friend at my church and worked on the gas stove to get it working reliably again. I choose to help people in other ways. I am not a "bad person" because I don't have the time to go fix the Wiki for UnRaid. And I am not a bad person because I point out that the docs are less than stellar. Now consider this. There are a bunch of very helpful people in this forum that just love helping others here. That is a *very* good thing, and I thank you. A Wiki can be many things. There are wikis where all you are trying to do is learn something about something. Not how to DO something, just learn about some artist or whatever. They impart information. The Wiki for UnRaid should be fundamentally different however, it should also give step by step directions for how to do this stuff. Telling me that it can is a useless as tits on a boar if I can't do it quickly and easily after reading the stuff. So every single page of the Wiki should have a "Here's how to do it" section which details in precise steps how to actually make it happen. I haven't read the entire Wiki but I have read a lot of it, and I have not seen that anywhere. So basically the Wiki is marketing literature, not a user's manual. It tells me what can be done, not how to do it. Understand that I come to the Wiki to figure out how to do something and it doesn't tell me. So what's the point? If you want to be helpful to me, you can tell me how to do something. You did and I appreciate it but guess what, the next guy won't have that information because you didn't document in the Wiki the answer you very helpfully wrote for me. If you truly want to be helpful... every time you answer a question think about what section of the Wiki needs to be expanded and go do that. Write down step by step how to do it so that specific item is now documented. In a very short time you can stop saying "yea the docs suck but we are here to help" and start pointing to the specific section of the wiki where the answer (that you very helpfully wrote) actually lies. Folks, I am not the problem. My bitching about the docs is not the problem. The problem is that the docs are often unhelpful and instead of fixing them you answer the same questions over and over ad nasium and jump on anyone that disparages the docs. If you don't like the reality (sucky docs) then fix the sucky docs. Don't expect to tell every tom dick and harry that comes in asking a question to go fix the docs. The emperor has no clothes guys. Ranting at me doesn't fix that. And my "thing" is not here with you guys. I have other missions in life and I am never going to fix the docs, and I am not feeling guilty about not fixing Unraid docs. And finally, if you are here answering questions (helping people - a good thing) then any time you spend learning how to edit the wiki is useful to you over and over and over. No opportunity cost there, an hour spent to learn plus dozens of uses of that knowledge making small edits over time. If I spend my time learning how to edit the wiki (and getting the permissions) then I just spent my time to make one single entry in the wiki and I am gone. That is opportunity cost to me. UnRaid is a wicked system, I have used it for years. But any time I need to do anything I cringe because I know how many hours I am going to spend, and I just don't have those hours to spend (on this). Fix the Wiki guys, you can do that and you can take pride in your part of making the wiki as wicked as UnRaid is. Instead of listening to folks lament the bad docs you can listen to people praise the docs, and know that you were part of that! And whether or not you choose to fix the Wiki, thanks for taking the time to help me and so many others.
April 20, 201214 yr I spend a few 10 minute breaks at work here. I don't have to time to organize and re-write the whole wiki just to make someone else happy. I did write a whole section on the shares and split levels in the unofficial manual because there were a lot of forum questions about that topic. I may be wrong, but I believe the forum user questions regarding the shares has been reduced. FYI, it would have taken you far less time to fix it then it would has taken you to bitch about it twice now. You should be complaining to Limetech, not the unpaid volunteer forum members. Limetech should have proper documentation for the standard product.
April 20, 201214 yr jwcolby: I'm sorry to hear that you had so much trouble assigning a cache drive to your array, and I'm glad that you were eventually able to figure it out. I certainly understand your frustrations with the unRAID documentation. The official documentation is woefully out of date, and the user-contributed documentation is a patchwork of various writing styles and depth of instruction. Many of the wiki articles and forum threads are written in such a way that they assume you have a thorough familiarity with unRAID and that not every step needs to be explicitly spelled out. Others are written in such a way that someone using unRAID for the first time could figure them out. We at Greenleaf Technology would like to change this system and develop professional, concise documentation for unRAID. However, just as you mention your 'opportunity cost' of editing the wiki yourself, we need to make sure it is worth our while as well. We will be meeting Tom of LimeTech in person within a few weeks to discuss this and other matters. Wish us luck! In the meantime, everyone is welcome to email either prostuff1 or I with general tech support questions. Our current going rate is $50/hour for phone support, and simple email support we often provide for free. Given that you value your time at $62.50 per hour ($1000 over two full days), it seems that paying us for tech support would save you time and money. I'm not trying to turn this post into an advertisement, I'm just pointing out that there are alternatives to the freely available documentation. Myself, prostuff1, and all of the other moderators on these forums are volunteers. All of the information and tech support we provide here we do so as a labor of love. The same is true of everyone else who has posted in this thread, anywhere else in the forums, and those who have contributed to the wiki. There is only one paid member of LimeTech: Tom. As he is busy developing the latest and greatest version of unRAID, the burden of general tech support falls to the community and a few third party groups such as Greenleaf. Pointing out the failings of the community's efforts doesn't make for good morale. I'm sure you can understand that if someone told you that your efforts volunteering in your community weren't thorough enough and that you should do more, it probably wouldn't feel very good, nor would it encourage you to volunteer any further. A parallel situation is occurring here. Many of us put in a lot of time and effort into making unRAID's support community as good as it can be. This is why we encourage all users to contribute to the forums and wiki in order to share the burden. My take-home point is that it is appropriate to send these grievances to LimeTech as an email or personal message, or even to post in these forums and address the post directly to LimeTech. It is not appropriate to berate the work of the volunteers here (especially without offering to pitch in yourself). By the way, the wiki login and forum login systems are linked. Whenever you are logged into the forum, you should automatically be logged into the wiki. I personally have found that system to only work about half the time, so I'm not surprised if you haven't been able to log into the wiki to make edits. I too have had that issue and posted in the 'forum feedback' subforum about it. However, this issue does not seem to be widespread, so I'm guessing it may be tied to my browser or OS settings in some way. I wish you the best with your future unRAID endeavors! I hope that your future experiences will be better.
April 20, 201214 yr And, jwcolby, seriously - thanks for reminding some of us that there is a very rich life elsewhere. We all get hung up sometimes on "stuff we know a lot about", whether it's unRAID or some other topic. I found your last post genuinely moving and also interesting. We all have motivators in our lives, and for some of us technical guys, that is spending a part of our day on forums such as this or tinkering with our computer systems. For others, it's helping out at a church, a prison, or helping relatives (like I do with my Mum and Mum-in-law). Sadly, some of us (and I include myself) get a bit blinkered from time to time regarding how much other people are likely to know and how much time they have might have available to do stuff. I am sure it gets worse with age, too. I have 36 years in electronics and computers right now. I still have another 10 - 15 years working with technology if my health holds up. I can't imagine how much I'll be expecting other people to know about computer stuff just because I do by the time I retire. Too much I am sure. Thanks again. Les.
April 20, 201214 yr Folks, I am not the problem. My bitching about the docs is not the problem. The problem is that the docs are often unhelpful and instead of fixing them you answer the same questions over and over ad nasium and jump on anyone that disparages the docs. If you don't like the reality (sucky docs) then fix the sucky docs. Don't expect to tell every tom dick and harry that comes in asking a question to go fix the docs. You're really struggling with this. You're the one who brought up the sucky docs in the face of multiple attempts to help you. Why should we fix them? We are as much every tom dick and harry that comes to this forum asking questions as you are. As has been mentioned mail limetech about the docs - but stop telling us (who are, effectively no different from you. Yup, we have families to feed, money to be made, other things we do outwith this forum too - that's not a unique thing to you and a bit insulting that you think it is) that *we* should be fixing them on your behalf. We earn as much as you from frequenting this forum which is clearly $0. My time is worth as much as yours. Fix the Wiki guys, you can do that and you can take pride in your part of making the wiki as wicked as UnRaid is. Instead of listening to folks lament the bad docs you can listen to people praise the docs, and know that you were part of that! The glaringly huge irony is that - why aren't you telling that to yourself? Why are you giving the pep talk to us? *You* could be the guy who single handedly revamps the wiki and makes the unraid documentation a shining example of technical documentation perfection. You could have the satisfaction of knowing you drove that effort and bask in knowledge that future unraiders are using your excellent work to streamline their deployments. You could not only be part of it, you could be the whole! Doesn't sound so hot when it's coming back at you I guess? Personally it sounds like hell on earth to me and I'd much rather spend 2 mins here and there chucking out the same answer over and over in the forum. It's my time to burn in that fashion if I choose. However, unlike you I'm not demanding anyone else fix it on my behalf. And whether or not you choose to fix the Wiki, thanks for taking the time to help me and so many others. As above the wiki is not 'ours' to fix. And you have a really odd way of showing your thanks. I'm going round in circles and I'm glad you at least have you cache drive setup - but if you need help in future I would be extremely grateful if you could at least recognize that those of us who will be giving you the help are just people like you and won't particularly appreciate being told what we should be doing for you when you're as capable as any of us. Docs being great or not is neither here nor there - it's the attitude of entitlement and superiority in your posts that has really annoyed me, at least. Aim it at limetech. As has been suggested if you would like to dictate to me what I should be doing for you, you're welcome to pay me for my time and for the ability to direct my time towards your tasks. I'm happy to discuss a discounted hourly rate with you for any documentation updates you think I should be doing.
April 20, 201214 yr Author Boof, I am not struggling at all, and you are the one who seconded the fact that the docs suck. Why should you fix them? Good question, and to each his own I guess. You are not inclined, but I am not either. I understand your position. I didn't get that you were a "drops by once a year" person. That is precisely what I am. It sounded like you were a regular, and if you are not then learning and fixing the Wiki is also an opportunity cost to you as well. I am not asking you to fix the docs for me. I am asking anyone who is a regular, who is over the top knowledgeable (which decidedly does not include me) to think about spending the time required to learn how to edit the Wiki and when you answer a question to write the answer down. It is in no way for me, it is for the next thousand folks who come looking for that answer. Forums are good but have you ever tried to search them for something. NOT a fun experience, NOT proper documentation. Not in fact of any use at all except for the person who received the answer. Boof, I am talking to you specifically when I say that I do appreciate YOUR (individual) effort to answer my question. You gave me the final answer that allowed me to figure it out. You got me off the Google train and my Cache disk in place. I do not in any way think that you don't have "anything better to do" nor do I think that however I serve people is any more important than how you serve people. What I thought (apparently in error, excuse me) was that you enjoyed answering questions in this forum, that you spent time here on a regular basis. People who do that are the perfect candidates for improving the user edited Docs. People who come in to get an answer and then leave (me) are the worst possible candidates to try and shore up the docs. The glaringly huge irony is that - why aren't you telling that to yourself? Why are you giving the pep talk to us? I have explained the reason, because I don't know much if anything about UnRaid, the last time I was even in this forum was when I needed to do something with it, probably a year or more ago. Why would I give myself a pep talk about improving the Docs when I am not here, know nothing and will not be here tomorrow? OTOH giving the regulars (the gurus) a pep talk may pay for itself, at least for the folks who drop by in the future. How much any of us make or don't make is irrelevant except in the context of opportunity cost. If I make a thousand a day and I hang out here for an hour a day answering questions, then I can spend 150 dollars (an hour of my time) learning something about UnRaid (or how to edit the Wiki for example) and then it pays for itself over the next year as I spend another hour a day helping people here. That hour learning the wiki is amortized over 300 hours over the year as I help people and and then document the system. If I earn a thousand a day (and I don't), and I spend an hour figuring out how to edit the wiki, and I make one edit, and I leave and don't come back for a year, well my single edit just cost $150 because I can't amortize it. We each choose how we help people. This is not how I do it. There are people who do drop by daily (it appears) to answer questions and those people are performing a very valuable service. That service would be magnified by an untold amount if the answers were written down in a clear logical manner somewhere other than a thread in a forum. Information provided to me in this thread was great. But if I had to ask it here, how many others will as well? And in a day it will be buried down below a hundred other threads and never seen again by most of those needing the information. I would be extremely grateful if you could at least recognize that those of us who will be giving you the help are just people like you So recognized. and won't particularly appreciate being told what we should be doing for you when you're as capable as any of us. It's not for me, it is for those who follow me. I have my answer. And given my position it is a decision I make that my doing DOCS here is not a reasonable thing (for me). I am in fact nowhere near as capable as (some) others here. Docs being great or not is neither here nor there - it's the attitude of entitlement and superiority in your posts that has really annoyed me, at least.
April 20, 201214 yr Author Try http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Cache_disk instead of that IP address you posted. Edit links all over the place on that one. I read this many times. Nowhere does it actually say how to create a cache disk. My point in all of this is precisely that what is obvious to one person is not so obvious to another. Once it was pointed out to me, that there is a disk slot down at the bottom (completely off the page of my monitor, I had to scroll down to see it) suddenly it was easy. I had been to every page of the "Gui" and I just did not see the CACHE DISK slot. And nowhere in anything that I ever read was it ever mentioned that such a thing existed, nor the page to go to to find it. Anywhere! And I spent a ton of time clicking on "links" and reading and moving on and reading and everything kept telling me that could be done but not how.
April 21, 201214 yr Author And, jwcolby, seriously - thanks for reminding some of us that there is a very rich life elsewhere. Les, My daughter is developmentally delayed and has some rather severe disabilities. She loves for me to walk with her through the neighborhood, and tonight we walked up to "Uncle mike's" house, a fella that goes to my church. He was tilling a section of his back yard for a garden, driving a tractor pulling a gas powered tiller. Allie dragged me close (she has a generalized anxiety disorder) so she could watch, and we watched Mike go round and round with his tractor. When he stopped Allie asked if she could ride, and "Uncle Mike" let her sit in his lap and steer the tractor around and around his yard for probably a half hour. THAT is what life is about! I am a tech guy, I learned to fix electronics in the 70s with the US Navy and then moved in to programming in the mid 80s. I love computers and I love what I do, but I don't have time to do everything, and watching my nine year old daughter drive (steer) a tractor makes life worthwhile. "One more time" is Allie's favorite phrase and "Uncle Mike" got conned into many "one more times" around the yard on that tractor. I pretty much had to drag her off the tractor so we could get home for the bed time routine. Earlier today I took an inmate out on pass for two hours to visit his sister who has terminal cancer. I had never met his family but it was enjoyable to sit and visit with his parents and sisters for a couple of hours. The sister looked pretty good (for terminal cancer) but we never know whether she will be here next week, and being in a position to do that for him and his family makes a real difference to them. So yea, I got a bit frustrated with the time I spent here trying to do the Cache Disk thing. I truly have more important things (to me) to do. And no, figuring out how to do the Wiki isn't one of them and isn't going to happen (for me). I am 57 years old, I adopted two kids (2 and 4 years old at the time) when I was 48 and I don't have enough time left for editing Wikis. That is just my personal decisions. It doesn't make me "entitled or superior" eh? Just more important things in my life. I t would be nice if someone did, but maybe editing Wikis just isn't anyone's priority. I can certainly understand that! Spend as much time as you are able with Mum and Mum-in-law. Now is all there is.

Nowhere does it actually say how to create a cache disk. My point in all of this is precisely that what is obvious to one person is not so obvious to another. Once it was pointed out to me, that there is a disk slot down at the bottom (completely off the page of my monitor, I had to scroll down to see it) suddenly it was easy. I had been to every page of the "Gui" and I just did not see the CACHE DISK slot. And nowhere in anything that I ever read was it ever mentioned that such a thing existed, nor the page to go to to find it. Anywhere! And I spent a ton of time clicking on "links" and reading and moving on and reading and everything kept telling me that could be done but not how. The reason I posted that is because you posted that you could not even figure out how to edit the Wiki. Your link seems to go to a Wiki that can not be edited. I suspect your link using the IP address goes to a version of the Wiki on a hosting site that was left behind after Limetech changed to a new web host. But, I couldn't tell you for sure.
April 22, 201214 yr http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Cache_disk This seems pretty clear to me. Which part is confusing?
April 22, 201214 yr Author http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Cache_disk This seems pretty clear to me. Which part is confusing? LOL, that is startlingly useful and clear. I guess a fog was obscuring my vision as I was reading it last. Furthermore now I am seeing little [Edit] links off to the side of each and every section. Pretty cool as well. Good job guys, and thanks!
