I don't even need a estimated time, just seeing the progress like the log shows would do wonders. Even showing an estimated time would be great even if it fluctuates. In my current situation the mover is a black box and I am completely in the dark to see if its actually working or not. I have been waiting 2 days for my cache to unload and I have no idea if the mover is even still working. After stopping it one time in fear that it stalled. I restarted it remotely using the terminal which actually provided some verbosity which helped TONS, as I could see the total files needing to be moved as well as the file number in that queue. Here's the problem - I had to sleep the computer I started this command from and upon waking it no longer had access to this terminal session so I lost the ability to see. I am doing an initial onboard of data, so some 900,000 files need to be transferred and the progress was agonizingly slow. From what I have read, this is normal and a consequence of the xfs format's convenience. To add to the frustration, my GUI stopped working both on the localhost / remotely which made me even more weary. I eventually diagnosed this as nginx crashing and restarted the process, however I'm not sure of why or when it crashed as I do not see anything in the log about it. In hindsight I should have hooked up a monitor, mouse and keyboard to the host machine and launched the terminal command from there so I wouldn't have run into this issue, but as it stands I am at a crossroads. Do I keep waiting hoping it is still working or do I stop and start it again going this route instead? Either decision I make eats into my trial time.

I am currently in the trial of this and I must say, for a paid OS this seems like a basic feature that should be included. Is there any more info on this? Seems this has been asked for since 2015 and it still hasn't been added.
