Cache Drive Filling Up Repeatedly


Ph9214

Recommended Posts

I have a 120GB cache drive and 6x2TB drives 1 for parity with a 250GB ssd and another 120GB (identical to the cache drive) ssd

 

my cache drive keeps filling up to 100% and then resetting to normal operation (according to the alert messages)

 

I have 5 separate shares on each of the 5 non parity 2TB drives with just a vdisk in each (so I can do software raid 0 in windows vm), the images are currently 941 GB each in size

 

the shares are apparently using lots of space (~40GB) on the cache drive and I was wondering why they wrote the vdisks to the cache since I haven't written anything to them yet? I was expecting it to just write the changes to the cache drive and not the whole file! Are they just trying to clone the files to the cache drive completely?

 

Also my Shares say that they are unprotected, is that because of them being partially on the cache drive
