[SOLVED] Adding NVME Drives to Cache


Recommended Posts

I had (5) 2.5" SSDs running in my machine as Cache and needed some more space so I added (2) 2TB M.2 NVME drives that I had been using as Unassigned Drives, but not longer needed for that purpose.  The new NVME drives now show up as Cache drives, but I didnt gain any size from them (Currently still stuck at 7TB).  I have done a full BTRFS balance twice and no luck, Any ideas?

Log is being spammed with PCIe errors so not easy to analyze, but the NVMe devices are not part of the pool, try this:

 

-reboot (mostly to clear the log)

-stop array (if set to auto-start)

-unassign both NVMe devices

-start array, stop array

-re-assign both NVMe devices to the pool

-start array, if total/free space still doesn't change please post new diags.

Thanks, I'll give this a try later tonight
