Issue with mover and cache disk filling up

Featured Replies

Hello everyone. I’ve run into an issue and would appreciate some help.

I have a share accessible via SMB. The primary storage is set to cache, with array as secondary storage, and I’m facing two problems:

1.When the cache disk becomes full, writes stop completely with a “not enough space” error. Logically, I would expect the data to continue writing to the array instead of the cache.

2.When I try to start the mover manually, it completely ignores the command, nothing happens at all.

Any insights would be appreciated.
Unraid version 7.2.3

Your problem with the cache giving this error is that you have not set a Minimum Free Space value for the cache (currently 0). Only when the free space falls below this value will new files bypass the cache. You therefore want to set this to be larger than the biggest file you want to be cached.

What values am I supposed to use here?

"10" - does this mean 10 MB?
"10Mb" - does this mean 10 MB?
"10Gb" - does this mean 10 GB?

I’m not quite sure what format these values are expected to be in.

In addition to not having a "minimum free space" configured you also have the mover tuning plugin which depending on which version you have could be broken and/or you did not disable the dry-run setting which comes enabled by default.

My suggestion is to remove this plugin altogether.

10 is 10 bytes, if you want 10GB you need to type in 10 GB

If you bring up the built-in help (by clicking on the text of that option) it tells you what formats are accepted.

Yes, I saw it, I just didn’t figure it out right away. I set it to "10GB", which seems to be correct. Thanks.

I’ve removed it now and triggered the mover again. Let’s see if anything happens.

And it's works. Thx everyone/

So you won't be writing any large movies to cache then?
