Where does everyone keep their plugin data? I used to keep mine on /mnt/cache/apps. I tried /mnt/cache/.apps but it seems like something wouldn't work right when I did that. Before 5.0rc13 it seemed like that was fine but now all of a sudden all my settings for my apps had reset. And now I have a /mnt/user/apps directory too. Perhaps I screwed up when I enabled use of the cache drive in user shares. I'm not sure. But I was curious how everyone else stores ther plugins data.

The correct way to do it is to create a cache only share. Click on the shares tab in the web gui and click on the share called "apps" and make sure where it says "Use cache disk?" that "Only" is selected. If this wasn't selected the apps folder probably got moved to one of your disks on the array so browse the disks. You should be able to then just disable all your plugins and move the apps folder from whatever disk it's on back to the cache drive. Then re-enable all your plugins and you should see all the settings you lost restored.

Thanks mrow. I think I'm too late for that because in my haste I did a cp -R of the apps dir in the /user share to the cache drive and then deleted it but when I deleted it it removed everything from the cache drive as well. But that makes sense now how I can still use the cache drive for user shares and set the apps folder to cache drive only. Thanks!
