If I move a fragmented file from one disk to another with the file manager, will it be written sequentially to the second disk?

Would really appreciate if someone can answer this.

It will depend on the target disk usage, if the first available space is large enough to save the complete file, it should.

It works for me.

I copied 12TB from a sketchy USB HDD (bad smart parameters) to a good drive in my unraid array. 99.9% of the files copied correctly. I had a couple files that looks like failed to copy as a message popped up. Is there a log file that I can look at to get the files that failed to copy?

Hello,

 

If I cancel an in-progress file copy operation (long running since it's a media folder) so I can do a shutdown and replace a drive, if I re-do the copy operation and DON'T check the "Overwrite Existing Files" option, will that just skip over all the files I've already copied without any intervention?

 

Thanks!!

Hi, how about an update of the plugin for version 7.x, unfortunately it does not work with unraid version 7:

V7 doesn't need the plugin, it is built-in. You should just remove the plugin.

-Nevermind, I didn't do a proper analysis-

a request, if at all possible would there be a way to show the real disk usage for each file in addition to the file size?

Hello,

I know this plugin is integrated now into unraid 7 and I hope I can ask a question about a function anyway in this thread.
So regarding "copy jobs" is it intended that those jobs in the queue are not running in the background e.g. when you logout from the UI?
For me this is a dangerous behavior and not well designed into the "File Manager". I was starting a copy job from an USB drive which was directly plugged into my unraid server and I thought, while I was logged out from UI, all the copy jobs in the queue were executed and done while I was away. But when I logged back again into the UI nothing happened and when I then reopened a "File Manager" tab/window the remaining jobs, that I thought were finished, starting out of thin air.
Is this intended? Because it is not good at all.

after using the forum search i only saw a oneliner post on zip support, 

so i was ondering. 

i think it was / is from using one or other webhosting panel that i remeber it supporting  a feature called:  <upload zip and extract>  i used that feature verry often to upload data folders or webapps etc to my webhosting stub. 

however, now using a lot of docker (including for example minecraft, apachephp8  and others  where it would be realy helpfull to be able to upload entire folders or folder structures with their data)   even if such behaviour would only be for a single preset  / a set of aguments or a single filetype  like just zip or just 7z or just .gz    a user would be able to convert their archive or recreate it with their tool of choice. 

i would be perfectly happy for either  a <upload and unzip>  or a  <unpack this file here>   feature

I read the initial PDF and searched this topic, but could not determine if Dynamix move and copy operations include binary verification of successful writes - can anyone confirm? 

 

In Windows I usually use the verify switch to enable this, but moving files between disk shares using this tool would be so much more efficient.

Is there a way to display all files in multiple sub-folders? It would make it much easier to transfer a lot of files rather than one at a time.

Feature request here (Not sure where is the best place now that it built-in):

the place is correct, but you know you can "fix" the screen ? settings, display, listing height ...

then your file manager buttons will be always there ;)

THANKS!!! That worked. The setting did just what I wanted!

I still can't find out how he managed to open media files like  jpeg, mp4?

 

... same problem here.

I used to be able to open e.g. mp4 files by opening them in a new tab via clicking on them with the mouse wheel and then they would play in the browser. jpg files were also never a problem.

With the recent update (I'm now on 7.2.0) a mp4 file gives me a "unsupported preview" error and jpg files are opened via integrated text-editor which leaves me with code-gibberish (even though jpg is a known extension in the config/editor.cfg). If I add mp4 to this editor.cfg it then tries to open the mp4-files in the text-editor and the browser tab hangs.

So i have seen this mentioned in this forum, but i'll just share my experiences.  

I was copying a couple of large backups (4TBish), of random sized files from GB to KB in size, to a new pool with FM.  I noticed the "% done" message jumped to around 80% right away, and the ETA seemed wrong (transfer speed was always correct/matched the speeds shown in the main tab of unraid).  After roughly half the files had copied over I noticed the % had jumped to high 90%'s (and the time-left still all over the place).  The files moved as expected, so it wasn't a game changer, just annoying!  
It seems that with lower sized transfers, i don't have this annoyance (or at least its not noticable).

 

I also would like to echo what other were saying.  Having a que system, for after you have already started an operation in FM, would be super helpful!

I solved this and it will be part of Unraid 7.4

The reason was that rsync returns two totally different progress states, depending if a file transfer is running or currently finished. And with a huge amount of small files, it even NEVER returns the progress values. The solution was to calculate it, if rsync does not return it. In addition I added a hysteresis to smoothen the progress a little bit:

 One thing I would LOVE to see is the size of a file transfer during transfer so 300GB left of 500GB.

FYI: I'm working on these features:

Its the File Manager working in the Background when the Browser Session Closed/Logout, the Client Browser or the Client himself are shutdown?

And on another Browser/Client Session are showing the File Manager and his Progress?

Include Minimize the File Manager and Expanded his again later.

Yes, but be aware of a bug, which causes re-spawning the existing copy/move rsync. This will be solved In Unraid 7.3 as of these bug fixes:

https://github.com/unraid/webgui/pull/2429#issuecomment-3448927951

avoid spawning multiple copy/move (rsync) operations (happened when user re-opened WebGUI after keeping it closed for >1 minute and while transfer was not finished)
