Hi all. I'm currently on a system with 2 parity drives, 9 storage drives, and one very small cache. I've order 2x2tb SSDs to pop into my array, and am trying to get things cleaned up before then. I have all my shares set to cache -> array, and have attempted to run the Mover multiple times. I have tried with and without the tuner plugin, but I just can't seem to make it work. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do? Also, I'm unsure how accurate this is, but I was reading that btrfs leads to more issues on a cache than other file system. Does anyone have suggestions on how I should format my new cache drives?

Besides appdata and syetm, only storage has data on cache, and it's not correctly configured according to the cfg, uninstall the mover tuning plugin, make a dummy change on the storage share and re-apply the settings, change appdata and system to be cache only, assuming that's what you want, enable mover, run the mover and post new diags.

I set storage to Array -> Cache, saved, and then changed it back, followed by running the mover. I've attached the current setup and my diags

Capitalization issue, delete Storage.cfg from the flash drive /config/shares folder, then reapply the settings for storage, and the mover should then run.

Would going to Tools -> New Config accomplish the same thing? I'm not sure how to access the files on the USB. Is that the /data folder?

Nope, Storage.cfg would remain on the flash drive, preventing the creating of the correct one, since FAT is case insensitive.

 

 

Do I need to power down the server and plug the USB into my Windows machine? Or is there an easy way to delete the file directly from Unraid?

You can delete from a terminal window:

 

rm /boot/config/shares/Storage.cfg

 

It's working now! Thank you so much
