Addy Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hey guys, I've recently added 2 cache drive to my tower I have set my appdata to prefer cache, if I do this do I need to change my docker configurations from /mnt/user/Appdata/Plex/ to /mnt/cache/Appdata/Plex/ once the mover has completed, or do I want to keep pointing it at appdata on the array, it makes sense to me to point it towards the cache, but doesn't the server move data off the cache eventually? So instead, do I need to have my appdata set to only? Quote Link to comment

If the share settings for appdata and system is set to Use Cache: Prefer, then you're all good. Just disable the Docker Service via Settings - Docker and then run mover via the Main Tab. After its done, re-enable 1 Quote Link to comment

Is prefer the preferred method of doing this, even if you have a cache pool? When I started the docker for plex is saw itself as a new install, so I changed path to /mnt/cache/Appdata/Plex/ - why did this happen should I copy my backup back to user/appdata and repoint plex to user/appdata Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 /mnt/cache/appdata can also be accessed via /mnt/user/appdata. I don't use plex so can't comment on the issue. But, yes I would say that "Prefer" is the recommended way of setting the appdata share. 1 Quote Link to comment
