Rich Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Hi all, I'm currently seeing constant reads on disk2 of roughly 500KB/s-1.5MB/s. Having checked with the 'Open Files' plugin to see what is being read and what program is reading, i can see that random files are being read across multiple shares (some of which no plugins or dockers have access too) on the disk are they are being read by a program called 'find'. Can anyone tell me if this is a Linux / unRAID process doing something, or do i need to start shutting things down to try and pinpoint what it is? Thank you, Rich Edited June 18, 2017 by Rich Quote Link to comment
Rich Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Ah, thank you. Good to know. Do you know if it's normal for it to be taking this long, its been reading disk2 for nearly 12 hours now? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Cache dirs continually runs the find command to try and keep the directory entries in RAM to speed up finding where a particular file is located. But depending upon a lot of factors, it may cause the drive(s) to actually spin up to accomplish what its doing. Exclude folders that you don't particularly care about access speed to.

BRiT Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Another option if you still want faster speed in network browsing those shares is to install more RAM so more directory-entries aee able to be cached. Quote Link to comment
