Funny how the NAS just gets bogged down when cache is full… actually stops while it cleans up shop then continues on.

Have you disabled quotas on the Rockstor pool you are using? That can have a significant impact on a pools performance and IO characteristics, if you can handle the reduced ability to report share usage.

@Tex1954

1. Is it Write to disk cache only? Seems so.
2. Any options to facilitate Read cache as well?
3. Can user set limits on main memory cache usage?

1. Btrfs flushes to disk fairly often, We go with whatever the upstream default is.
2. We had fledgling support for bcachefs but it’s untested in our v4 “Built on openSUSE” variant. Take a look at: Bcache - developers notes - #5 by phillxnet. We depend on very specific udev rules for the bcachefs devs. Don’t know if there are equivalents no in openSUSE so we would have to overwride these or adapt to them.
3. That’s more of a kernel level thing as btrfs uses the regular fs/block level stuff in kernel. Likely doable and non Rockstor specific.

Hope that helps.
