Question about Cache!!

[Hernaldo]

Hi,

 

I build a nas server with unraid,

 

my build is:

4x disk drives 1 tb

4x disk drives 2 tb

1x ssd 512 gb

 

I created a share with the option "use cache"= prefer to my plex library,  when i moving movies,series,etc... i saw all the writes goes to the cache disk, but when the cache disk drive was full, my copy task say "there is not enough space on the disk dont have space to continue". I thought when the cache is full, the system will be send the new data to the pool data but dont work that i spectated. Maybe is a setting that i need to activate or can some one explain well how the cache works.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Best Regards

All media should be in the array not be on your cache drive.  Use cache should be set to "yes" for your media.  This allows you to copy your movie, series etc over to the cache drive without slowing down for parity.  When "mover" is run it will copy the media into the array at a later time.  Split level of your shares may be what is preventing the data from pushing over into the array.

It does, if the minimum free space setting is correctly set for that share.
