October 3, 20205 yr I got a warning saying cache was almost full so i changed some of the shares to "Yes" so mover could tidy up. I'd rather not have the VMs running on the array and should have the space on the ssd if they are only using 51G. But it carried on filling up. Now i have moved all the shares to "yes" as im almost out of space but mover is doing nothing. Just says its finished a few seconds later but the folders/files are all still there on /mnt/cache/ Also du -sh shows only 72gb when GUI says 113Gb (out of 120gb) Some other posts mentioned Windows VMs taking more space than the vdisk size shows but i think my problem is just that mover is not actually moving anything so the drive just fills up. root@Tower:~# du -sh /mnt/cache/ 72G /mnt/cache/ root@Tower:~# du -sh /mnt/cache/vms/ 51G /mnt/cache/vms/ root@Tower:~# du -sh /mnt/cache/vms/ispconfig.qcow2 41G /mnt/cache/vms/ispconfig.qcow2 root@Tower:~# du -sh /mnt/cache/vms/scudvpn.qcow2 9.9G /mnt/cache/vms/scudvpn.qcow2 The first VM is 100Gb but the actual size is only 41G ispconfig started 4 8192M 1 / 100G VNC:5901 ON DISK DEVICES BUS CAPACITY ALLOCATION /mnt/user/vms/ispconfig.qcow2 VirtIO 100G 41G scudvpn started 4 2048M 1 / 10G VNC:5900 ON DISK DEVICES BUS CAPACITY ALLOCATION /mnt/user/vms/scudvpn.qcow2 VirtIO 10G 10G Version: 6.8.3 Server Description Registration UptimeTower • 192.168.0.18 Media server Unraid OS Basic 25 days, 21 hours, 38 minutes NAME COMMENT SMB NFS AFP CACHE SIZE FREE VIEW amy Private - - No Compute... 556 GB Browse /mnt/user/amy appdata application data - - - Yes Compute... 564 GB Browse /mnt/user/appdata domains saved VM instances - - - No Compute... 564 GB Browse /mnt/user/domains isos ISO images Public - - Yes Compute... 556 GB Browse /mnt/user/isos Media Public - - No Compute... 556 GB Browse /mnt/user/Media share Private - - No Compute... 556 GB Browse /mnt/user/share system system data - - - Yes Compute... 564 GB Browse /mnt/user/system timemachine Mac Backup Public - - No Compute... 556 GB Browse /mnt/user/timemachine vms Private - - Yes Compute... 564 GB Is it safe to set all the folders to "No". Manually rm -rf /mnt/cache/ and then set the VM and appdata back to "Prefer"? I have backups of all VMs and appdata dockers just in case. Thank you in advance.

I found that one too but I don’t have any Windows VMs. Only 2x Ubuntu VMs. shouldnt setting the cache on a folder to “Yes” move all the data to the array and leave only sym links on the cache? Either mover is not working or my understanding of how it works is incorrect. Probably the later but I need some help so I can move the VMs and dockers back to the cache and stop the warnings.

It will move all the data on that share to the array, it won't leave any symlinks, files can't be in use, e.g., for VMs they must be shutdown.
October 4, 20205 yr Author Ah that’s prob why then. Let me try mover again with all the VMs and Dockers turned off and see what happens. Thanks, I’ll report back later.
October 4, 20205 yr You don't just have to stop VMs and Dockers but the services in Settings if you want Mover to do it's job properly.
