The help built into the GUI tells you how the different options work and what action (if any) mover will take.
October 8, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, BigDaddyMoe said: but i havent copied anything why causes my array to go to my cache? Did you read the help text that describes what the settings do? Prefer causes the shares to prefer the cache drive, so files already on the array are moved to the cache if there is room.
October 11, 20214 yr Author My point is that i was not copying anything new, my understanding is from the help text as follows: " Specify whether new files and directories written on the share can be written onto the Cache disk/pool if present. This setting also affects mover behavior. No prohibits new files and subdirectories from being written onto the Cache disk/pool. Mover will take no action so any existing files for this share that are on the cache are left there. Yes indicates that all new files and subdirectories should be written to the Cache disk/pool, provided enough free space exists on the Cache disk/pool. If there is insufficient space on the Cache disk/pool, then new files and directories are created on the array. When the mover is invoked, files and subdirectories are transferred off the Cache disk/pool and onto the array. Only indicates that all new files and subdirectories must be writen to the Cache disk/pool. If there is insufficient free space on the Cache disk/pool, create operations will fail with out of space status. Mover will take no action so any existing files for this share that are on the array are left there. Prefer indicates that all new files and subdirectories should be written to the Cache disk/pool, provided enough free space exists on the Cache disk/pool. If there is insufficient space on the Cache disk/pool, then new files and directories are created on the array. When the mover is invoked, files and subdirectories are transferred off the array and onto the Cache disk/pool. NOTE: Mover will never move any files that are currently in use. This means if you want to move files associated with system services such as Docker or VMs then you need to disable these services while mover is running."

October 13, 20214 yr Author HELP! tower45tb-syslog-20211013-2356.zip tower45tb-diagnostics-20211013-1856.zip
October 13, 20214 yr Author Array Operation Stopped. Invalid configuration. Too many wrong and/or missing disks!
October 14, 20214 yr Community Expert Disk1 is disabled and disk3 is missing. Is disk3 still installed?
October 14, 20214 yr Author disk 3 still installed, havent touched anything inside the case of the server.
October 14, 20214 yr Community Expert Disk3 doesn't appear in those latest diagnostics. Can you see it in BIOS?
October 14, 20214 yr Author appreciate your help, I'm a newbie, are you suggesting I restart server and go into bios to see if harddrive is there?

October 15, 20214 yr Author hard drive was not in sas bios, so i checked all cables, maybe a power cable to disk 3 was loose? I restarted and it showed hard drive in the sas bios. but nothing has changed with the array. Disk 3 still missing. i cant figure this out? tower45tb-diagnostics-20211015-1219.zip tower45tb-syslog-20211015-1717.zip
October 15, 20214 yr Author I appreciate your help has volunteers! Having paid a license I feel Unraid should have a support line to help newbies like me. So much of the resources are outdated online too. Frustrating.....
