I recently noticed that my cache disk will have several folders. They are most of the time empty and after the mover has finished they are left in place or, if deleted manually, re-written.

 

Also, I noticed that opening the unmenue browser is very slow. Sometimes the page fails to load at all.

 

I've attached the latest syslog.

 

Thanks.

Looks like your syslog rotated just 8 minutes before you captured this one. Can you telnet or login at the console? If so, see if there are any others in /var/log.

All I see there are:

 

apcupsd.events  images@              plugins/          samba/    syslog

cron            monthly_parity_check  removed_packages/  scripts/

dmesg          packages/            removed_scripts/  setup/

Sorry, looking again I would say you rebooted just 8 minutes before capturing the log. Was expecting a bigger file and I was specifically hoping to see mover activity in your syslog.

 

Can you telnet or log in to the console? If so post the results of

ls -lah /mnt/cache

 

total 0

drwxrwxrwx  7 nobody users 168 Jun 19 02:35 ./

drwxr-xr-x 15 root  root    0 Jun 19 14:34 ../

drwxrwxrwx  2 lev    users  48 Jun 19 09:04 Applications/

Is something writing to those user shares? Unless they are set to "Use cache disk: No" then new writes will go to cache.

 

You say the unmenu browser is slow. Are you specifically talking about the unMenu addon?

As far as I know nothing is automatically writing unless I drag and drop.

 

And, yes the Unmenu add-on. It's temperamental. Just now, I checked, and it's OK.

Don't necessarily mean automatically. If you drag and drop to a cached user share then its folder will exist on cache.

Shouldn't the folders go away after the files are moved?

Run the mover and post a new syslog.

Just ran the mover and here's the new syslog.

 

Thanks.

Sorry for the novice question, but - which disk is it? I do not have anything that I can see labeled ST3500630AS or 9QG1FGFM.

Power down and inventory the disks. If this disk is unused it should be removed.

You are correct. I stopped the array and do see that I left 2 drives in the PC, not assigned. One of them does match the description. I left them there just in case I needed to replace a drive remotely, should one of the existing disks fail. I did not realize that the unassigned disks will be causing any issue at all. Is that a bad practice to leave a "blank" disk attached and ready to go, but not assigned?

It should not matter.
