Since I had problems with my working shares moving from RC4 to RC6, I decided to start over with a USB format and fresh install of 6.0 Final. I only want to use the cache drive for shares created on it, such as appdata and images. I also would like to exclude my other 13 drives from this and keep those drives as disk shares only. Since it's been longtime I want to make sure I create these right. So what what's the correct way to do this?

 

Thanks

Simply make the new shares cache only

 

For the other shares set use cache to no

I forgot to mention those appdata and images shares where already created on my cache drive, so it see's them fine and they are set to cache only. But under user shares I see all 13 disks with each disk folders as shares so the share list is long!. As I only want those to be disk shares and not user shares. I set them to excluding disk 1 - 13 in global settings and it hides them but it also hides the cache appdata and images shares on the user share tab.  When i did this on previous versions of unRaid it worked and listed only appdata and image shares under the user share tab. Did something change in the way this works since 6.0 RC4?

Sounds like what you should really do is just have disk shares and turn off user shares if you don't want unRAID making your disk folders into user shares.

Yeah I was kind of thinking the same thing. I really only want to use the cache drive for my appdata and images shares for Docker and VM's. Really not wanting to use the cache to speed up or anything else.

 

I guess I could just turn off user shares and leave use cache on.  I really don't use the mover part anyway.
