TGP Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Hello, I have the problem, that when I switch shares to "prefer cache", the mover will do nothing. Mover tuning was uninstalled for testing. There is plenty of space in the cache drive (700GB free, around 100GB should be moved from the array to cache). Is there anything I'm missing? Is it a problem that the cache drives were added later? If so, how can I get the mover to transfer it anyway? Thanks in advance Edited April 11, 2021 by TGP Quote Link to comment

This is not a problem - in fact it is one of the purposes of the 'prefer' setting. Note that open files cannot be moved so you may need to temporarily disable the docker and/or VM services if they are holding open files you want to be moved. You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your systems diagnostics zip file (obtained via Tools->Diagnostics) to your NEXT post. You could also try enabling mover logging to see if that giver a clue. Quote Link to comment
TGP Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) VM's and Docker Services are disabled. The files are also not associated with it. The mover log shows just that it immediatley stops, without further information. My next step would be creating a new share in the cache and rename it as the old one... tgp-nas-diagnostics-20210411-1245.zip Edited April 11, 2021 by TGP Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 The diagnostic's show that the Mover Tuning plugin IS installed and other posts suggest it seems to be causing a lot of people problems I would suggest uninstalling the plugin, recreating the issue; and posting new diagnostics.

TGP Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) I reinstalled it meanwhile. I removed it and tried again, there was no difference. I even rebooted the server after uninstalling. But I can repeat the steps if it helps. Next try without plugin. Nothing happened. Also curious: When I try to use "ls" in the terminal, nothing shows up. tgp-nas-diagnostics-20210411-1312.zip Edited April 11, 2021 by TGP Quote Link to comment

There was no mover logging in the last diagnostics posted - not sure if the plugin interferes with that and without that it is hard to guess what might be going wrong. The last diagnostics show mover logging NOT enabled so you might want to check that as well. Might have to wait to see if anyone else has any idea Quote Link to comment
TGP Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Interestingly enough only shares with Windows imagebackups and filehistory are affected. Quote Link to comment

I must admit that I can not think of any reason that should be the case. Not sure why you would want imagebackups on the cache in the first place I was thinking that a share anonymised as M....a might be a Media share that was having these problems? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Enable mover logging, run the mover, post new diags. Quote Link to comment
TGP Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 The media share works perfectly fine. I keep images of testmachines in the cache for quicker imageupdates and access. Nothing to see in the log, as far as it shows up correct to me. tgp-nas-diagnostics-20210411-1331.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 According to the mover log there's nothing to be moved, from what share are you trying to move data? Quote Link to comment
TGP Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) It is called TGP Backup. I just made a new one and copy the files over. I don't know why the mover does not recognize those files. Edited April 11, 2021 by TGP Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 It's a bug, mover isn't working for shares with a space in the name, you should create a bug report. As a workaround you can rename the share, using for example an underscore. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Note it's only not moving from array to pool, it still does from pool to array, even with a space in the name. 1 Quote Link to comment
TGP Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Thank you for your help. I would have ran into the same issue with cloning the share. Problem should be solved with renaming. 1 Quote Link to comment

TGP Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 I just renamed everything and it works as intended. I have some time tomorrow to test it out. A bugreport is also created. Quote Link to comment

Does still seem to have an issue with .folderd (.icons in my case). Not an issue for me since those will be deleted anyway, but perhaps good to know. I see errors like: May 3 14:23:30 Zorby move: move: file /mnt/disk1/appdata/binhex-preclear/home/.icons/BLACK-Ice-Numix-FLAT/scalable/actions/reply-rtl-symbolic.svg May 3 14:23:30 Zorby move: move_object: /mnt/disk1/ Upon checking these files do actually exist.

wow001 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 The bug is still not fixed. I am using 6.11.0-rc4, its fine moving files from cache pool to the array with a space in the share name. But after replacing the Cache drive i cannot move the files back. Mover starts and finishes instantly. Renamed the share with out a space and mover started moving files to the new cache drive. Will submit a bug report Quote Link to comment
