March 2, 201610 yr Hi, new to Unraid having just started my array. Parity: 2TB HDD Data: 4x 2TB HDD + 1 TB HDD CACHE: 500 GB SSD No that I have started the array and I set the notifications to tell me everything I get all of these warnings about SSD utilization. Does this really mean anything? Thanks

March 2, 201610 yr I think I know what you're talking about, but just to make sure you do can you tell us exactly where you are seeing these and what they say? Maybe a screenshot. Then we can go from there to discuss what you should do about it.
March 3, 201610 yr Author Here is a screen shot (attached) of all of the warnings I am getting. I have been trying to backup another computer on my home network, starting with some disk backups of about 1-2 TB. The array has 9 TB of storage but the backup software says there is insufficient space. How can that be?
March 3, 201610 yr Stating the obvious, I guess - but if you are trying to backup 1-2 TB of data to your unRAID server onto a user share set to use the cache drive, then you are going to run out of space on your 500GB cache drive... Choices in that case would be backup in < 500GB pieces, or turn off use of the cache drive until the large backup is complete.

Choices in that case would be backup in < 500GB pieces, or turn off use of the cache drive until the large backup is complete. Or schedule mover to run more often, or run mover manually. Probable better to just do as tdallen suggests and set the share to not use cache since running mover during the large transfer will just make it less efficient. If you do copy without the cache drive don't be surprised by the reduced write speed. It is normal.
March 3, 201610 yr Author Thanks to all for the great feedback. How do I turn off the cache for these large file transfers?
March 3, 201610 yr Go to the settings page for the user share you are trying to write to and set it to Use cache: No.
