Cache Drive Space Issue

Featured Replies

I had a question, not sure if best here, in the docker forum or the specific docker forum so wanted to start at the general level.

 

My cache drive is a 750GB SSD. It stores all my dockers and all my downloading/unpacking. unRAID reports it as 230GB used (including a 100GB zip set). With about 500GB free. NZBGet can not uncompress this file though do to space. The file is 100GB uncompressed, or very close too.

 

Would this issue be a cache drive issue? a docker issue? a NZBGet docker issue?

Have you tried running balance?

If you are only going to use a single drive in the cache then you are probably going to find it is far more stable and performance if it is formatted as XFS rather than BTRFS.

Not sure what balance is, unless you are referring to the unBALANCE plugin. That said, not sure how it would help since I am extracting the RAR files on the cache to the cache then moving the file. The space issue comes up on the extraction despite having enough space. I will retry and get diagnostics going, not sure if that will capture a dockers error though?

No not the unBALANCE plugin. 

 

On the Main tab click on "cache" and you'll see a button called "Balance" running this might help. 

 

Just be aware, your disk will get very warm for a few minutes.

thanks, I will give it a go.

A 100GB ZIP file? How big is it uncompressed?

 

Are you sure you're not actually running out of that 500GB of currently free space? If it's a movie, probably not, but if it's text files, you may have 80-90% compression and 100GB becomes 800-900GB when uncompressed. (Granted, that's a lot of text!!)
