Common questions

Does Dynamix Cache Directories cache file contents or only folder structure?

It does not cache folders with files. It only keeps the folder structure in memory.

Do I need to edit command-line options to configure the background service?

No. The plugin provides a web interface for configuring and monitoring the cache_dirs background service without editing command-line options.

Where does the plugin store the folder information?

It keeps folder information in memory to reduce unnecessary disk spin-ups when browsing shares.

Have users reported disks spinning up on unRAID 6.12.8 even when the plugin page says it is running?

Yes, some users reported that on 6.12.8 the plugin could appear to be running while disks still spun up, and reverting to default settings did not fix it.
