September 27, 20196 yr When I copy data to \\Tower\Share\Dir1 I can see that the data is being written to the cache. When I copy to \\Tower\Share\Dir1\Dir2 the cache is being ignored and the data is written to the array directly. I have global cache set to Yes, cache for the share set to Yes and the cache has plenty of free space. Split level is set to "Automatically split any directory as required" for this share. I am using Total Commander on Windows 10 although that should not matter. I think it has something to do with split levels because of the different behaviour for the directories.
September 27, 20196 yr Author As usual, after an hours of investigation this issue I make a post only to find the solution a few minutes later. When I was copying to Dir1 I was creating new files. When I was copying to Dir2 I was overwriting files that were already moved to the array. In this case unRAID overwrites the files directly, skipping the cache. The conclusion is that it's faster to delete the data and create it again than overwriting it.
