jonfive Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hey all, I'm a little lost - I recently added a second ssd to my cache, this created a cache pool. When I download a large file (happens around the 65gb area on a single download), docker still runs out of space despite the additional cache drive with more than 150gb free. To fix it, I have to run the mover manually and continue the download; sometimes breaking the download completely. Current usage: 162gb used, 198gb free. I've read all over, but i'm not sure if it's definitely what i need to do. They say to remove the docker and reinstall, but does that mean that I need to reinstall ALL of the dockers to correct the issue? Figured i would ask before i have to go through and re-configure all of them. thanks! Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 What size drives are in your cache pool? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 With 2 disks, the default setting for the cache pool will result in a mirror, with total storage equal to the smallest of the 2 drives. Sounds like you were expecting to get more capacity simply by adding a disk.

From Main - Cache Devices, click on the first cache device (Cache) to get to the Cache Settings, then post a screenshot of the Balance Status. Quote Link to comment
