August 6, 200916 yr My unraid server is setup on my home LAN and its a small home LAN only two media PCs, a Desktop and a home server. The Unraid box is storage for all media, and a backup for my desktop. Currently i have several WD Green Drives at 1TB each, and I set up one as a cache drive. I'd like to remove it as a cache drive and make it another storage drive. How do i know for sure the data that is on it has been written to a storage drive, and its safe to change it to a storage drive?

Type find /mnt/cache -type f -ls If you see any files, then you would want to move them. Joe L.
