I'm in the process of upgrading my cache drive by following the wiki directions.  I've got as far as changing all the shares that are using the cache to Yes, and using the mover (i did disable docker in Settings).  It moved everything but my appdata.  Its still there.  I verified that i have the appdata share set to Yes but the mover isn't moving it off the cache to the array.  

Any ideas?  

a workaround i'm thinking about would be to go ahead and upgrade the drive, and using CA backup/restore to restore the app data (i have a backup from this morning at 1am.  

edit: i've attached diagnostic if that matters

Did you disable the Docker service? 

 

The instructions say to disable all dockers, VMs, etc.  that are using the cache drive; however, disabling the Docker service will ensure that you have not missed any individual docker container that may be active in appdata.

i didn't stop each docker, i just disabled the docker service from the settings menu.  think that could be why?  I figured it would stop the dockers before it disabled the service.

I think i'm just going to replace the cache and rebuild it using the backup/restore appdata plugin

Yes, that's what I was suggesting you try.  Disabling the Docker service stops all docker containers from running.

OK, perhaps that will work for you.

 

I have used both methods in the past for upgrading a cache drive an both worked.

I went ahead and upgraded the cache after the mover didn't move the appdata.  I ended up rebuilding from a backup from this morning and its back up and running.
