hi,

i have a share for all my data. i run 4 WD RED 4TB + 1 8TB as parity disk - with my old ocz ssd as cache. I reformated the cache drive as xfs after i noticed the huge read/write amount happening for no reason under btrfs. since then my share is marked as unprotected despite it not being cached at all.

 

 

i ran a full parity check and nothing changed (came back clean) - any pointers are appreciated?

Setting a share cache-no means new files will not be written to cache. It also means mover will ignore the share so if it has files on cache they will not be moved. 

 

Go to Tools-diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics zip file to your NEXT post in this thread. 

I also recommend reconsidering your desire to have all data in one share. By doing that, you give up the ability of Unraid to manage different files differently with different user share settings.

 

If you really want "one share to rule them all" take a look at this:

There is help in the webUI. The Help (?) button will toggle Help for the entire webUI on/off. You can also toggle help for a specific setting by clicking on its label.

 

Here is a FAQ that gives more details about the nuances of the Use cache setting:

 

thank you for all your replies. its not the only share but its the main one i'm braking down into smaller ones later on. i found that there was a residual empty folder on the cache that did not get moved over. its all fine now - thank you again
