March 16, 20179 yr I have started backing up my workstations using the ProFTPd server. Has worked well, but today I filled up the cache drive and instead of going directly to the drive share, it started timing out FTP. Is this normal?
March 16, 20179 yr What folder are you backing up to? If it's a /mnt/cache path, then it's perfectly normal. If it's a /mnt/user path, you need to set your share configuration differently.

The thing you have to realize about the Min Free setting is, unRAID doesn't have any way to know how large a write will be. If there is more than Min Free space remaining, it will start writing to the disk. If the write turns out to be larger than the free space, the write will fail. If there is less than Min Free space remaining, it won't start writing to the disk but will choose a different disk. You must set Min Free to be larger than the largest file you will ever write. There is a Min Free setting for each user share, and there is also a Min Free setting for cache in Global Share Settings.
