Im just finishing getting my new unRAID server set up, going to be buying the Pro license tomorrow. Ive been reading up on Influencer's plugins and saw that it says on his support section that your applications share should be set to use the cache disk only. The disk im going to be using for my cache disk is currently in use on another machine until I finish migrating everything over to unRAID and i need it to stay functioning until i complete the migration and can get all of my settings for various apps transferred over to unraid. My question is, can I just install all the applications and then put in the cache drive and tell it to put all apps on the cache drive without causing a problem or do i need to have the cache drive installed and setup correctly before adding the apps for that to work correctly.

 

For reference, this is the info from Influencers recommended configurations section:

 

Plus & Pro Instruction Only

 

Once this has been successful for your plug-ins:

Go to the "Shares" tab in the unRAID Webgui Click on the "apps" share Change the "Use Cache Disk" setting to "only" Click "Apply"

 

This will keep your app settings on the cache disk, otherwise the mover script would move them to the array automatically.

 

After this is done, you can access the apps at their respective ports and configure them however you like. You can setup the categories in sab and have it move the finished downloads to your movies or shows share automatically, just make sure to point to the share and not the disk, i.e., /mnt/user/Movies instead of /mnt/disk1/Movies

First of all, I want to say this since I just wasted the last two hours trying to deal with maraschino:-

Don't use influencer's maraschino installer

 

Excluding that, personally I have my applications installed to /tmp (Which I'll be changing to /usr/ soon, due to the above about maraschino) which means that every time the computer restarts it's deleted, so, it has to redownload the files each time on start up, this means that this part of the setup would work pre & post a cache drive; however, I have my applications' appdata set to /mnt/user/Appdata/* and "Appdata" in this case is a cache only share. What I suppose you could do is just create a share at the moment, then, when you get the cache drive, close all the plugins and do:-

 

mv -R /mnt/user/Appdata /mnt/cache/Appdata

 

And set the share to cache only, then, it should work as before, however, until you get the cache drive set up quite a few of your drives will be constantly spun up.

you could limit the Appdata share to disk1 until the cache is installed to allow the others to spin down.
