I decided that i do not need the benefit of the cache drive for user shares, and will just use my cache for docker/apps/vm's etc

 

I have set all shares to not use the cache drive but i have two shares which refuse to play nice

 

These shares are Movies and Kid's Movies, as far as i can tell there is something about Couch Potato that is causing this as the share behaves as expected if i manually copy data to it using windows explorer ie: nothing is created on the cache drive.

 

I have a Couch Potato docker running for each share, the settings for Movies are as follows

 

/mnt              /mnt

/config          /mnt/user/appdata/couchpotato

/downloads    /mnt/user/downloads/complete/movies/

 

i pass /mnt /mnt through to the docker so that when i changed from the v5 plugin to the v6 docker i could copy my existing database over and file paths would remain the same

 

within CouchPotato itself i have

 

Renamer:

TO:  /mnt/user/Movies

FROM:  /mnt/user/downloads/complete/movies/

 

Manage:

/mnt/user/Kids Movies

/mnt/user/Movies

 

 

Have you tried stopping the array and just disabling the cache from the Global Share Settings page?

Hmm that seems pretty logical, will that effect the appearance of the cache disk in the system or just its use for user shares. Will

This effect shares that are set to use cache only, such as appdata
