ReidS Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Cache & Shares Question... If I disable cache in the VM "domains" share, does that get written when the cache is scheduled to write/manually activated, or does it begin writing the share after changing, or does it write after the VM is shutdown and then scheduled/manually told to do so?

JorgeB Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Note: Moved from the FAQ thread, @ReidSFAQ thread isn't for asking questions, there's a FAQ feedback thread but this seams more like a general forum question. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 As for your actual question, and if I'm understanding it correctly, if you disable cache for that share, as in set it to cache="no", then any new files written to that share would go to the array, immediatly after the change, but it won't do anything to existing files, i.e., any existing vdisk will remain in use on cache. 1 Quote Link to comment
ReidS Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thanks for the replay and sorry for posting in wrong thread. I guess the simpler question is, when exactly are the items floating cache get written to the disk after changing the cache setting to disabled in the shares? I ask cause I'm working with an active server hosting systems in use by clients and I want to keep my disk utilization to a minimum. I'd rather not write the whole cache to disk now. I'm sure the answer is when then scheduler is set to, but I'm hoping unRaid will self manage and write the item in cache for the domains share to the disk array. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 If you change the Use Cache setting then nothing gets moved until the mover next gets run. If you change that setting to No or Only then mover will never move any files anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment
