I have searched and found an immense amount of data about mover scripts, but I have to admit that I am a complete moron as it pertains to linux.

 

First, where is the mover script located?

Second, wgat is the easiest way for me to edit it so I can make it do what I want it to do?

Third, is it possbile to have specific directories on the cache drive moved to specific locations in the user shares?

 

I truly appreciate the time that it takes to help a guy like me.

/usr/local/sbin/mover

mcedit /usr/local/sbin/mover

Third, is it possbile to have specific directories on the cache drive moved to specific locations in the user shares?

The files are moved to their equivalent directories, so make the directory tree on the cache drive you wish once moved, and put the files there.

No problem.  I expect you'll be way over your head in the mover script.  Basically, to learn how it works type in a browser

man find linux

man rsync

man bash linux

Joe thanks.

 

You are very correct I will be in over my head. But, I only have to get it right once!

Use of the cache drive should be transparent to the user. Enable cache for a share and write to that share will go to the cache drive. The directories on the cache drive will mirror those on the share and will be moved overnight. There should not be any reason to modify the mover.

And the light bulb comes on...

I NEVER saw the "use cache disk" setting. So I was having a hell of a time trying to figure out what I had to do to make the mover script work.  It was driving me nuts. Like most things, its the simple stuff that is often most overlooked.

 

Thanks dgaschk, thanks Joe.
