Cache Drive is slowly filling up...

[Masturnar1]

Hi,

 

I have a 120gb SSD cache on my array and it slowly filling up, my docker is only using 10gb of it but apparently, there is 30 GB still used and I have no idea where it came from. I don't use any VM or anything just the basics plex stuff.

 

Diagnostics link below.

 

Thanks for the help.

I recently tried to use dolphin to move files from disk to disk, I think it might have broke something....

Those diagnostics seem to indicate that the only share with data currently on cache is appdata. You don't have any dockers running but I see you have docker image configured to live in that appdata share. Not the "standard" method but shouldn't matter. But cache does have more than that used so perhaps you also have appdata folders for dockers that aren't currently running. What dockers have you had?

 

Cache isn't all that full now so I'm not sure what makes you think there is a problem?

 

I notice one share anonymized as A--s that has inconsistent Include/Exclude settings. You should only set include or only set exclude, not both. Include means ONLY those disks, Exclude means EXCEPT those disks. There is never any reason to set both and you have them set in conflict with each other.

Yea I know my shares are all messed up.

 

For the docker in use look screenshot below.

 

Yea I know my cache isn't full but when I go look up what is sitting in the cache at the moment I only see my appdata, see the screenshot below, if my app data is 10 GB it should only use 10 GB of space in my cache, no?

No. It is your docker image that is 10G (I usually recommend 20G but no more). And the usual location for docker image is in the system share instead of the appdata share where you have it.

 

Appdata is where each of the dockers normally have their application data. Typically there will be a separate folder within appdata for each docker's working storage. This is separate from the docker image, which only contains the executables for the dockers. How much space these appdata folders take up will vary depending on the dockers you use.

 

Since you have such a small cache, I recommend not caching any of your other user shares and just save all that space for your dockers to use.

Thanks for the help.

 

Is there any command that tells me what is currently stored is every other user shares inside my cache so I can fix all off this by my self?

You can see how much space each user share is using on each disk by going to Shares - User Shares and clicking on Compute... for the share, or just click Compute All at the bottom.

 

You can "drill down" into a User Share by clicking its folder icon at far right on the User Shares page, then clicking on a folder name as you go deeper.

 

You can "drill down" into a disk by clicking on its name on the Main page, then clicking on a folder name as you go deeper.

 

Other than viewing folder contents, there is no way to manage the files and folders in the webUI.

 

What are you wanting to change?

[Masturnar1]

Nothing specific, I just wanted to check if every file in each share was placed between every drive. 

 

Thanks for the help, and my cache went back to a regular state, around 30 GB size, after Dolphin finishing doing his transfer.
