Not writing directly to HDD after SSD Cache is full


Recommended Posts

Hi, I have 3x10 Red HDDs (one's for parity) and 2x500GB SSD for cache.   Whenever the SSD cache is full I get a disk full error message when copying over to a shared folder on the server.   Is there anyway to set Unraid to copy directly to the HHDs if the cache is filled automatically instead of waiting for the mover to run?  Running version 6.7.2.   Thanks!

It is important that you set the Minimum Free Space setting for the cache and the User Shares to be more than the largest file you expect to write.     When the free space drops below this value Unraid will stop selecting a drive for new files.

Sorry for the new responding sooner.   Thanks for the suggestion!
