August 20, 201213 yr I’ve just installed an SSD cache drive (unraid 4.7) and I’m pretty sure it’s not working – how can one verify ? It appears correctly in my Main page, and I’ve set all the user shares to use the drive (under “shares”) Two things lead me to believe it is not working: 1) When I look at the mnt/cache directory, I find no files present after transfer (from Mac HD to User Share), and when I hunt around the disk drives e.g. mnt/disk2, eventually I find the file. I understood it should be on the cache drive until the mover kicks in at 3:40am 2) I’m on a Mac so transfer rate is not visible in the dialogue box, but when I use a stop watch and note the MBs written, there appears to be no speed improvement. Attached is my syslog. Thanks for any help. Steve syslog-2012-08-20.txt.zip
August 20, 201213 yr Have you rebooted after making the cache drive assignment and designating the shares to use the cache?
August 20, 201213 yr Author No, I have not. I will do so now and let you know if that changes things.
August 20, 201213 yr Author thanks, Jonathanm. The reboot solved it. I don't recall reading anywhere that a reboot was required, but that did the trick.
