Hi, I'm following the guide to move files off the cache so I can reformat the drive. Mover has completed, and drive is still showing as having 8.58gb left on it. from looking at the drive, its two empty folders, and a docker.img file for 42.9gb (odd because this is larger than the 8.58gb that the drive says is being used)

think its okay to reformat?

attaching a couple screenshots

Docker images can easily be recreated if needed:

https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/troubleshooting/common-issues/docker-troubleshooting/#re-creating-the-docker-image-file

Then:

Also see below if you have any custom docker networks:

https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/troubleshooting/common-issues/docker-troubleshooting/#restoring-docker-custom-networks

sorry I'm back for more help. I did follow the instructions, formatted the drive, then had to setup up docker.img and my dockers again but that all seems to be working. My problem is this step in the guide:

Restore data and settings

To restore data and settings:

1. For each share you changed, set Primary storage and Secondary storage back to their original values.

2. Move data back (array → cache):

   • For each share you changed, set Primary storage to the destination cache pool and Secondary storage to the array.

   • Set Mover action to array → cache.

   • In the Main tab, click Move Now to move data back to the cache.

When I go back in my shares, and set primary to array, there is not an option for secondary storage! If I choose primary as cache, I can set secondary to array. plus i'm a bit confused why I'd even want to change it back, if I think about downloads, I want them going to the cache, and then secondary as array, when the mover moves cache->array.

I must be missing something!

and set primary to array

That's not what the instructions say,

ok thanks, think I'm losing it. Will double check tonight.
