Hello, I ran 

-dconvert=single -mconvert=raid1

 

in the balance window for my first cache device, and my syslog reported

However, nothing seems to be happening. No writes / reads to either disk (I just added the 2nd one, shouldn't have any data on it) , and still shows the balance information as RAID1 and available space as 2x my smallest drive. Do I just need to let it do its thing for a few hours or is something wrong?


Oh, I also tried running the balance command again, to no avail..

If your copying/paste the command try typing it, some users had similar issues recently where it's pasting extra characters.
