Yet another mover issue


Recommended Posts

I will start this issue as I always do, by saying this is probably a PEBKAC issue.

I have a pretty standard unraid setup with a cache (SSD) and an array (disks).

I have media files that live on a share on the cache (Data) that once I have watched, I copy onto a share (Media) that should exist on the array.

I have the Data share's cache set to "prefer" and Media set to "yes".

When I copy files from the Data share to the Media share the files go from;

/mnt/cache/Data/show1.mkv to /mnt/cache/Media/show1.mkv

Then when I run mover (which I believe should move the file to /mnt/diskX/Media/show1.mkv

It just spits the following error;

Mar 17 11:22:59 NUC move: file: /mnt/cache/Media/show1.mkv
Mar 17 11:22:59 NUC move: move_object: /mnt/cache/Media/show1.mkv File exists
It looks like it is trying to copy it over itself.

Why?

Have you checked that the file does not already exist on an array disk?    Mover will not move a file if one with the same name already exists on the array..

You may get better informed feedback if you post your system’s diagnostics zip file.

Fair thought, but I have already checked for that.

The files in question have never been on the array.

To be sure I even checked with;

ls -laR /mnt/disk* | grep show1.mkv <- Returns nothing

vs

ls -laR /mnt/cache | grep show1.mkv <- Returns one file

What you did should should have worked :( 

 

Nothing obvious springs to mind, but random ideas I have are:

  • Permission issues that could be fixed by running Docker Safe New Permissions tool
  • File System corruption that could be fixed by running File System Check/Repair on all drives

As I said earlier your diagnostics might give some other clue.

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to this. I've had exams and worked around the issue by using Krusader to manually move the files, so this went on the back burner.
I just tried moving a bunch of large files from a share that is set to "prefer" to one that is set to "yes" and now mover seems to be happily moving the files.

I suspect there was just something about the files I was moving the first time that "mover" didn't like or potentially an Unraid issue that has been fixed.

I have upgraded from 6.9.x to 6.10.x in the mean time.
Thanks to everyone who offered advice, it is appreciated.
