levster Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 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. syslog-2015-06-19.zip Link to comment

If so, see if there are any others in /var/log. Link to comment

trurl Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 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 Link to comment

trurl Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 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? Link to comment
levster Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 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. Link to comment

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

Sorry for the novice question, but - which disk is it? I do not have anything that I can see labeled ST3500630AS or 9QG1FGFM. Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Power down and inventory the disks. If this disk is unused it should be removed. Link to comment
levster Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 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? Link to comment
