August 9, 20205 yr Hello, I am in the process of doing a disk shrink (removing old disks). I removed the disks and did a new config with the remaining parity and data disks, it seems to be rebuilding parity fine. But, I now have a bunch of "errors" where the appdata, domains, isos, and system folders, which are usually on the cache disk are now showing to be included on the the disks which I removed from the array. The problem is that I can't remember how I set up these folders when I created them. I checked and they are actually really ONLY on the cache drive (that's how Spaceinvader One suggested they be set up). The question is : how to set them now. Should I set them to exclude all disks but use cache "only"? Or should I select a disk as included and set cache to "Prefer"? Attached is a screen shot of the "common problems" plugin showing the "errors". Disk1, disk2 and disk5 are the disks that I removed from the array. Thanks.
August 9, 20205 yr Maybe before setting those shares to Only you somehow played with the Included disk(s) and/or Excluded disk(s) ? If so, switch the shares to Prefer and see if you can put those elements to All / None then put the shares back to Only. If this deosn't help, please post your diagnostics so someone can have a look at the details.

Even though I excluded these disks from all shares (since I was going to remove them), I guess the appdata, etc shares were set to all and that caused the error? Anyway, all these shares are now set to include ALL and cache is set to "ONLY". Is this the preferred way to handle these folders?
August 9, 20205 yr I can't say for sure as I only have a limited experience on unRAID but that seems the logical thing to do for me. Of course other can disagree.
