Previously my appdata folder for Use cache pool (for new files/directories): is configured as "Prefer", but I recently changed it to "Yes", because I wanted any creation to be done in Cache first, then if it is really full then go straight to array (because I dont want the creation to fail, e.g. if I am downloading something I rather it go array behind the scenes, etc.).

Then I was curious why my apps from Dockers are not working. Then thereafter I see the logs of mover moving the entire appdata folder into the array ☠️

In some cases it says the files already exists, so I have no idea what is happening right now..

I mainly use appdata for the Dockers. Now I need to move them back to the Cache and hope the data wasn't messed up.. anyone knows why this is happening? What should I do in this case? I did not know pressing Apply for that change means instantly the mover is triggered...

Mover won't overwrite existing files, you need to delete one of the copies, typically the one with the oldest modified date.

I am surprised there are duplicates in array and cache.. I don't know what 'Prefer' did exactly but it the mover moved all to array and now my folders are messed up. E.g. when I run a diff I see:

Only in /mnt/user0/appdata/swag/: .DS_Store
Only in /mnt/user0/appdata/swag/: ._.DS_Store
Only in /mnt/user0/appdata/swag/: crontabs
Files /mnt/user0/appdata/swag/dns-conf/cloudflare.ini and /mnt/cache/appdata/swag/dns-conf/cloudflare.ini differ
Only in /mnt/user0/appdata/swag/dns-conf: cloudxns.ini
Files /mnt/user0/appdata/swag/dns-conf/cpanel.ini and /mnt/cache/appdata/swag/dns-conf/cpanel.ini differ
Files /mnt/user0/appdata/swag/dns-conf/domeneshop.ini and /mnt/cache/appdata/swag/dns-conf/domeneshop.ini differ
Only in /mnt/user0/appdata/swag/dns-conf: dynu-credentials.ini
Files /mnt/user0/appdata/swag/dns-conf/dynu.ini and /mnt/cache/appdata/swag/dns-conf/dynu.ini differ
Files /mnt/user0/appdata/swag/dns-conf/gandi.ini and /mnt/cache/appdata/swag/dns-conf/gandi.ini differ
Only in /mnt/user0/appdata/swag/dns-conf: google-domains.ini

So it is 'safe' to use whatever is newer and move/replace the once in Cache right? I don't know how duplicates is even possible and how it even worked in the first place.. very surprised

It should be, but you can also rename the old folder and test to make sure, if all works, then delete it.

Should I revert the setting from "Yes" back to "Prefer"? I will also stop the Docker/VMs service and set Mover to run monthly for now to be safe.

If you are only going to use the same pool from now on, you can leave the shares set to cache=yes
