June 2, 20251 yr I followed the trash guides and setup my main shares as 'Data' and the appropriate sub directories Downloads are being sent to the cache drive and then mover will work over night to send them into the array. However, I am acquiring 45tb of data which will completely fill up the cache drive. Secondary Storage is selected as Array but it doesn't seem to automatically write to the array when the drive gets filled. I have checked global share settings but don't really see an option.
June 2, 20251 yr Community Expert What have you set as the Minimum Free Space value for the pool Cache_nvme2tb pool? You have not posted diagnostics or a screen shot so we can see what you currently have set. Unraid will only start writing new files directly to the array once the free space on the pool falls below that value.

The single drive on the cache pool has 0 set to the minimum free space is this issue? adziunraid-diagnostics-20250602-1232.zip

With that value set to 0 you will basically never get files by-passing the pool. The pool needs to have a value larger than the biggest file you want to be cached. If you are downloading multiple files in parallel then a value larger than their combined size is needed.

Mover is currently running so will have to wait to stop the array, to allow me to change this pool setting. I will put 200gb on the free space limit should be plenty to avoid this happening again.
