French-Guy Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hi Just installed 2 x SDD (480GB each) as a cache pool How should i setup the Dynamix SSD Trim: Daily, weekly, etc...? Thanks Quote Link to comment
French-Guy Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Quick question about my cache drive: Without cache, I could copy to my server at ~70 MB/s With the cache drive, I do not see any improvement...............Is it because my controller is Sata II "only"? Thanks Quote Link to comment

French-Guy Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 I just checked and Write method is set at Auto.....Should i leave it like that? When I did my first test to transfer a large file (~20GB) with the cache pool installed, I noticed the parity drive's LED was blinking, so I realized I was probably not using the cache pool. So I googled it and found that each share must be configured to use the cache So for each of my share (MOVIES, TV SHOWS and PHOTOS), I selected "Prefer" But anyway, as of today, I transfer at approximately 70MB/s without cache pool, and exact same speed with cache (I'm using a LSI PCIe SAS9211-8i for all my data and parity drives) and the SATA II ports from the motherboard (an old one - BIOSTAR A785GE) for the 2 SSDs....

Please enable the help on that page and read the descriptions of the different cache settings carefully. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 And see this post in the FAQ for more details on the user share cache settings: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/46802-faq-for-unraid-v6/?page=2#comment-537383 Quote Link to comment
French-Guy Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Oh, OK.............So it should be "Yes" then? Quote Link to comment
French-Guy Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Ok, so I tried again with settings at "yes", but I was transferring at 25/30MB/s this time.....will have to look at my bios Also, there is a file in the cache (movie) that I really don't know how it ended there... And when I launch the mover, the file doesn't move and stays into the cache How do I delete a file from the cache (I don't care about this file actually)?

rl2664 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 You can delete or move this file with the Krusader file manager wich is part of the community applications. Quote Link to comment
French-Guy Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) After trying few more times to "move" that file, I shut down the server, and restarted it Once restarted, the file was gone..............Really don't know what happened Anyway, I will install Krusader, it seems a good tool to have Thanks Edited January 1, 2019 by French-Guy Quote Link to comment
