comet424 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) hi i like to see a request... that when you wanna move from a bad SSD or Upgrade etc.. instead of "JUST" going to the array.. have the option to move files the appdata system docker folders from 1 cache drive to a 2nd one.. this way you wouldnt need to move it twice from ssd to array and then from array back to new ssd have it from old ssd to new ssd... in 1 Step not 2 steps.. as it takes hours and hours for mover to Move files... so if you can Move from 1 cache to a 2nd cache skipping the "Array" youd save soo much time.. and maybe just maybe mover would move faster since your going SSD to SSD instead of SSD to SPINNERS then SPINNERs to NEW SSD as it looks like it takes a 1 Day to move from SSD to Array.. and then it will be 1 day to go from ARRAY to SSD... so thats 2 days to move like 300gb .. to move 300gb from SSD to SSD can be just 1 day then and or be able to improve Mover it seems its going to take 2 Days to move 300 gig to the array .. if its possible to improve the speed of mover Edited June 21, 2022 by comet424 Quote Link to comment

Unraid 6.10.x series now has the option to have the Dynamix File Manager installed so that you can manipulate files from the GUI, and this is what I would recommend to use to move files between pools as it would be much faster than using mover (even if mover supported pool->pool moves).

comet424 Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) @itimpi so would mover be consider something you wouldnt bother using then if ur moving the files of appdata system docker vms from the cache to the array and then back again if it does alot of checks when would you use it? i never really had money for a cache drive to copy files from network to a cache drive and then over night copies to the array.. does mover work faster for regular files.. and really slow for appdata like plex being huge... or is it equally slow? ill take a look about the dynamic file manager.. but dont you need the "checks" for appdata docker system... or when do you need "checks" and when dont you need "checks" and id even like to see so SSD to SSD say your SSD is named "unraid_files" and everything is linked to that pool name when you add a new ssd.. it be nice to have the option of 1. install New SSD 2. App that Will Transfer the "unraid_files" pool to the new SSD (either move or copy, give the option) 3. App would re label the old broken(or upgrade) SSD if can to "old_unraid_files" 3. App would re label the "new SSD" to "unraid_files" 4. boom your done and your back in business and you dont need to worry about linking to a different pool if you happen to have scripts or what not that points to the old pool name.. or having to delete old pool name then label the new pool the same pool you had. this way you could do it in 1 app and it be all automated.. like mover u press the move button and u wait till its done. its a thought... but ill take a look at that dynamic file manager.. but maybe the developers could look at the option of transfer from old ssd to a new ssd and keep the same pool name.. but skip the "check" or whatever its really doing that makes it godly slow.. and nothing against the program.. as i probbably dont utlize unraid to its full potenial .. but love the program so just a thought Edited June 22, 2022 by comet424 Quote Link to comment
