Mover not moving from cache to array {Diagnostics attached}

Featured Replies

I seem to be having an issue with unraid 7.0.0 mover, moving data from cache to array. 
I've stopped all containers, and initiated the move, but it appears to not actually move anything.

I thought maybe qBittorrent might have been holding things up, but that doesn't appear to be the issue. 

While I can't say for certain, I do believe all of these files in /mnt/cache/data are created by qBittorrent 


Cache is using 818GB of 1TB, of which 372GB is legally obtained Linux ISO's. 

I don't recall if this was an issue prior to upgrading to unraid 7.0.0, so that may be a red herring. 

 

This is the log entry when mover is initiated

Ok so I may have just solved this. I read in another forum thread about removing Mover Tuner plugin, which Ijust did, and when I kicked off the mover manually it appears to have started. 

 

I'll monitor and mark this as solved if this actually fixed the issue.

SOLVED!

 

It appears that the plugin CA Mover Tuning was holding things up, although I have had this installed for years, and never really had any issues.

Perhaps it's a bug, perhaps it's a feature, but mover is moving now. 

 

Cache utilization is shrinking

Log shows mover is moving

Array writes are increasing
