July 1, 20251 yr First off, Unraid is all very new to me, and a learning curve. With that said, I am very grateful for the great community here, Discord and Reddit.Currently I am only running 4 dockers right now, Sonarr, Radarr, SabNZB, and Plex , 4 others are a project in the works, Prowlarr, Immich, Overseer, Next cloud (if I decide against Immich). But noticed in those early setup days, I was writing my /config docker appdata to /mnt/user on the first 3, but not Plex, plex Reads/Writes to my /mnt/cache/appdata. My question is, can I use the Move tool to move all the actually appdata from user (my array disk this whole time) to my /mnt/cache/appdata? Of course I will have to also reconfigure my Docker Containers settings to reflect the folder new locations. But am just looking for the simplest way to achieve this. Manually move the files, of use the Mover function if possible. Thank you inadvance!
July 1, 20251 yr Community Expert Solution Note that /mnt/user/appdata includes /mnt/cache/appdata as it is a merge of the ‘appdata’ folder on any array drive or pool.

This is what I am looking for, maximum read/write speeds for my arr programs to have Sonarr/Radarr and SabNZB work best by writing the files to my cache appdata, then link it to the data/Array after post prossing.
July 2, 20251 yr Community Expert You get the same effect by setting cache as Primary Storage and Array as secondary storage. When you specify a /mnt/user path then you do not have to know what device a file is currently stored on as it is found on any device. When you specify /mnt/cache then Unraid only looks there.
