Blindsay Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hey all, This could just be me missunderstanding how unraid works but i just had a situation where i had a ton of data being moved into the array and the cache drives just filled up to 100% and then my VM's were suspended. I would have though the array would have started moving from cache to mechanical drives to prevent them from filling up completely? I manually invoked the mover and it is fixing itself now Quote Link to comment
DanielCoffey Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) If you have the share as "cache prefer" it will fill the cache first then overflow to the array until Mover can sort it out. If the share is "cache only" it will only use the cache until it is full then stop. Edited September 22, 2017 by DanielCoffey Quote Link to comment

Thanks, i will double check when i get home but i am fairly sure it is not 'cache only' it lists the share size as like 13TB (which i sure dont have 13TB of SSD's lol Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Not only does cache-prefer overflow to the array, but it also moves from array to cache if cache is not full. Quote Link to comment
