(solved) Understanding "shfs: share cache full" messaging in the syslog


Recommended Posts

I am 90% sure I understand what is going on here from previous threads I read when searching on but would like to confirm. 

 

I'm getting "shfs: share cache full" verbiage in my syslog. All of the shares have tons of free space. Each disk has at least 3tb free. I have the "Minimum free space" set to 100gb for each share.

 

My cache drive is at 420 out of 500gb since I did a bunch of big data moves today.  I take this to mean "Minimum free space" doesn't just apply to the shares, but it also applies to the cache drive - is that right? Once I only have 100gb free space on the cache drive, it will start writing directly to the array until the mover clears off some space?

The value under Settings -> Global Share Settings is the one that applies to the cache disk.
