December 9, 20169 yr Where can I find the instructions for adding a 2nd cache drive? I have precleared a new drive and I have assigned it to slot 2. I now see a cache pool. I read in these forums that I need to run the Balance command / button on cache drive 1, so I did that too. The balance is still running. How do I confirm I have this setup correctly? See attached screenshot. Next to the 2nd cache drive, it doesn't show the same stats, like nothing under FS, so I want to be sure it was added correctly.

December 9, 20169 yr Author thank you. From my screenshot, does it look correct? Just to be sure, I ran the Balance command again. I then ran the Scrub command, both on cache drive 1. Everything looks ok, I guess.

Many links are broken on this new forum software, but that one seems to work fine for me. Try clicking on it in your own post where you said it doesn't work.

What happens in the case I need to restore the cache, but I can't start the duplicati docker because my appdata and vdisks(docker.img, VMs) is on the cache?
June 28, 20179 yr Community Expert No clue what duplicati is but you can backup and restore your cache following the instructions on the link I posted above.
