Hi.. newb Unraider here.. Unraid Plus 6.9.2.

 

Ive had my server up and running for about 6 months now and its basically been fire-and-forget. 

 

Was bored for a bit last night so logged in to poke around and noticed my cache drive seemed to be storing a bunch of files on it.. I was under the impression (mainly by its name) that Mover would .. you know, move, them off the drive at the default rate of once a day.

 

Did some googling, didnt clear anything up. Looked at syslog and noticed that Mover appears? to be running (to my inexperienced self) once a day at 3:40am.. but its exiting with a code and I havent been able to find any descriptions of the codes.. 

 

exit status 1 from user root /usr/local/sbin/mover &> /dev/null

 

That line is repeated nightly through the last 1.5 months of syslog entries (when the server last rebooted).

 

Do I have an issue or is this operating as expected?

 

thanks for the help.

Make sure you setup Notifications to alert you immediately by email or other agent as soon as a problem is detected.

 

attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread for recommendations on your usage of cache.

Thanks for the tip, I'll get notifications set up.

 

Diagnostics are attached.

 

Appreciate the help

Your appdata and system shares have files on the array, probably because you setup docker before installing cache. You want these all on cache so dockers/VMs will perform better and not keep array disks spunup since these files are always open.

 

Mover can't move open files so you will have to disable Docker and VM Manager in Settings before running mover.

does file /var/run/mover.pid exist

I made sure to turn on view hidden and view all files.. and there are only 3 things in /var/run/ two dirs: lock and screen and a 0 byte file, utmp.

Have you tried turning on mover logging in the schedule options.Only exit 1 status I could see in the mover script was if it is running already hence the check for mover.pid

Just to clear this up, because I was looking into that, too.

 

The mover may exit with 1 if logging is not enabled, because the last statement of start() is

[[ $LOGLEVEL -gt 0 ]] && echo "mover: finished"

 

It should be a regular if statement or have "|| true" appended.

 

To verify, just try running the mover with logging enabled in Settings/Scheduler.
