Just to avoid obscure fud and misunderstandings like this Sorry I missed this all those months ago. I will answer it now just in case it is still relevant or someone stumbles on it. /mnt/user is files on pools and on array. /mnt/user0 is only files on array. So, certain references to a file in /mnt/user could also be a reference to a file in /mnt/user0 and vice-versa. Linux sees these as different mount points, and doesn't know that they might actually be referencing the same file. So, if you try to copy or move a file between /mnt/user and /mnt/user0, Linux might try to overwrite the file with itself. This causes it to first create a new empty file to write into, and then copy the data there, but at that point, the file has been made empty. This is often referred to as the User Share Copy Bug, and usually comes up when discussing moving/copying between disks and user shares. Same thing happens there. Linux doesn't know that the references to disk files may be the same file as references to user share files. See the ⚠️ CAUTION paragraph at this link in the documentation: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/shares/user-shares/ Also, (part of a discussion that resulted in Dynamix File Manager)

I think I have the right Mover Tuner plugin installed, but don't see this. edit: Oh, it seems I had to uninstall/reinstall the plugin. Weird. Glad you got it figured out. It's working well for me to keep current media on the cache.

Maybe i'm looking past it. I see there's a Mover Tuning from Squid and Reynald's. Not sure which one or both have it. Edit: So on Reynalds, i'm trying this settings which seem to work Would have been perfect if the plugin could specify file extensions like this script does too.
