January 8, 20242 yr I'm trying to replace my cache drive but can't get my data off of it first. Mover's been running for 12 hours and moved about 60GB with another 430GB to go. I tried "mover stop" and it looks like the command completes but it doesn't stop. How can I stop mover and manually move my data off the cache? Do I just use Dynamix File Manager, browse to the cache, and move things to one of the dives in the array? I know mover splits things between drives so I'm not sure if I can just put it on any drive and be OK

March 30, 20251 yr Community Expert I should have been clearer. On 1/7/2024 at 7:51 PM, shaunvis said: I know mover splits things between drives Mover doesn't split things between drives. When moving to /mnt/user0/<share>, the settings for the share determine which array disk a file gets moved to. Could all go to the same disk. Highwater Allocation (default) or Split Level might cause the same disk to be used.

But that is the least efficient allocation since it could cause it to switch disks frequently just because a disk temporarily has more free. Highwater is default for good reason.
