Hello everyone,

After getting a disk full I couldn't start my dockers.
I wanted to enable Exclusive Access for the System share but the option is set to No and greyed out as you can see in my first screen.

Before doing anything stupid, I would like you advices on how to properly move the files/folder to my SSD pool-apps.

Do I have to simple turn off all my Dockers or do I have to put the array in maintnance ?

And also why can't I enable Exclusive Access ?

It's enabled in the settings and I already have Exclusive Access enabled on my appdata share.

Thanks to any of you who will answer me !

You have to disable (temporarily) the Docker and VM services under Settings as they hold files open on the System share that will prevent them being moved. You cannot do it in Maintenance mode as then the files are not available to be moved.

That will be because not all the files are on the ‘Pool-apps’ pool. It will be enabled automatically for all shares which meet the conditions if you have the global option enabled, so if shows up as No when you look at the share settings it typically means that not all files/folders for the share are in the right location although it could be one of the other required conditions

Providing the requested diagnostics would allow us to check for other possible issues.

Thanks for your reply !

Here is my diagnostics files.

# Share exists on disk1

Array shares cannot be exclusive, only pool only shares can.

Yeah I know it was literally my second screenshot and it was one of my questions "How to properly moves back my data to pool from array", aka the main purpose of this thread 😅

So if I understand well, after disabling Dockers/VM all I have to do is simply use the "move" options ?

And after that I could be able to enable Exclusive Access I guess ?

Yes, although the share using exclusive access should be automatic once all files/folders are on the pool and the Secondary storage option is then removed from that share’s settings

Thanks @itimpi your solution worked and now that I moved the folders to the pool, the Exclusive Access is automatically set to "yes"
