I added a cache drive to my existing system, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything.  I tried copying about 30gb of data to the unraid machine, and i didn't see any writes to the cache.  I could see writes to the parity and the data drive, that's about it.  I tried rebooting the machine, no luck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance. 

Did you change your share settings to enable cache?    If cache isn't enabled for a share, it won't use it.

 

garycase,

 

seriously.. you are my Godsend.. I enabled the cache drive in the 'settings' and i went through each drive trying to make sure that there wasn't an 'enable cache drive' setting under each one.  the one thing i did not check was the share itself.  thank you so much! it works now.

Glad it's working.  That's a very frequent oversight when folks add a cache drive ... but fortunately a very simple fix
