conflicting information on Cache Management admin and magento cache:status

[steros]

Preconditions

1. Magento 2.1.2
2. PHP 7.0

Steps to reproduce

1. set all caches to disabled in "Cache Management"
2. reload
3. see all caches disabled
4. on console run "magento cache:enable"
5. run "magento cache:status"
6. see all caches enabled

Expected result

1. all caches should show as enabled in Cache Management

Actual result

1. all caches have status disabled

This also works the other way around. It seems the information displayed in the admin hardly corresponds with the information on the console.

Magento 2 seems to have problems handling the way I symlinked my folders. It works with static folders.
