February 20, 20188 yr I would like to reformat my cache drive but not sure how. I don't see a format option.
February 20, 20188 yr Stop the array. Main, Cache Device, Change the format type to what you want. If its already what you want and just want to reformat it, then: Change it to anything else. Start the array. Format the drive Stop the array Change the format type to what you want Start the array Format the drive
February 20, 20188 yr Author One last question. I upgraded to 6.4.1 and all looks good. However, I uninstalled the preclear plugin/app but can't figure out how to reinstall. I went to Apps but don't see it anywhere.

There are some patches that have been done to it but not "officially" supported at this time. You might look at the support thread for the plugin.
February 20, 20188 yr Author Yup, I was just reading it now. Ok, no big deal. At least my upgrade went nice and smooth. Just copying my data back to my cache drive and I'll be back up.
April 7, 20233 yr Also on this topic, I used rsync to copy the whole cache drive to another unused drive in my system with this command rsync /mnt/user/appdata --progress -avzh /mnt/user/appdata /mnt/disks/6VM78N1T/appdata-thurs/ I think I got rsync from Nerd Tools
April 7, 20233 yr I didn't see the format option for assigning the xfs/btrfs drive. Found it. Click on the blue "Cache" then you can select the format of the drive. For me I changed it to XFS, hit Apply, Done, Start Array. Format all unmountable disks. Stop array, change format back to btrfs, format it, copy the goods back. My Unassigned Devices drive wasn't coming up default because I had to re MOUNT the drive. Then it came up and I used the following command to get it all back <fingers crossed>: rsync --progress -avzh /mnt/disks/6VM78N1T/cache-drive-thurs/ /mnt/cache/ Takes me about 45 minutes to copy over 7GB of uncompressed files.
