[SOLVED] Empty cache disk not empty

[SliMat]

Hi All

 

I am about to replace my single cache disk.... so I set shares which were using it to 'use cache disk - yes', invoked mover and all my VMs and appdata are now in the protected array.

 

But on the main screen it says the 500gb cache disk is using 68Mb. So I thought I would check with Midnight Commander that the root of the cache disk was empty and it is... there is nothing on it at all.

 

So, why does the main screen show its using 68Mb, when its empty?

 

I just want to make sure I am not missing something and about to inflict some data loss on my server.

 

Thanks

There's always some filesystem overhead.

I thought that would probably be the reason.

 

Unassigned, replaced, assigned and formatted - all good, thanks 👍
