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.

Woohoo!! Tons of read activity and the Balance screen updated to show activity! 
 

Thanks
