Hi,

ive setup a small unraid server and i want all hdds to spin down when nothing happens, thats why i have a big SSD as cache.

 

I setup all shares, except the with the data for the array to cache "only" and the data for the array to cache yes.

 

I see all shares a split between cache and disk 1. I startet the mover, but there are still files on Disk 1. How to move? Why mover dont move it? Oo

 

This way cache and disk 1 is always on..

If a share is set to cache "only" this means all files will be kept on just the cache drive and mover doesn't need to move anything to the array.

 

If a share is set to cache "yes" this means files will be temporarily stored on the cache and when mover runs it will move them to the array.

 

If a share is set to cache "prefer" this means that the cache disk is the preferred location for files and mover will move any files on the array to the cache drive.

 

If you want to move files from disk 1 to cache you should set the share to cache "prefer". If you want to move files from cache to disk 1 you should use cache "yes".

This is not working. Thats the problem.

I got it fixed by manual doin it:

root@Unraid-Server:~# mv /mnt/disk1/appdata /mnt/cache/appdata
root@Unraid-Server:~# mv /mnt/disk1/system /mnt/cache/system
