Squid Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Nothing wrong with that btrfs is only required if you have a cache poolSent from my NSA monitored device Quote Link to comment

flic Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 xfs formatted cache does not behave as a caching drive: copy to a share bypass it completely Quote Link to comment

flic Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 dont tell me I have to set the "Use Cache Disk" in the share settings. This is huge files (Movies) share so it has to reside exclusively on the array, not the cache. My understanding of a cache drive is as follow no matter how the share is configured: Client file -> Server cache -> Server storage Quote Link to comment

My understanding of a cache drive is as follow no matter how the share is configured: Client file -> Server cache -> Server storage No. If a share is not configured to use the cache drive then the file is written directly to the array by-passing the cache drive! If you have the share set as Use Cache = Yes, then the file is initially written to the cache drive, and later when mover runs (typically scheduled to run overnight) it is moved to the array.
