Immediate disclaimer: I do not use, and have never used, any Mover Tuner plugins.

 

I've received the following e-mail notification from my Unraid server tonight:

Link: http://Uxie.local/Main

 

Event: Unraid Cache disk disk utilization

Subject: Warning [UXIE] - Cache disk is high on usage (71%)

Description: CT500MX500SSD1_2204E600A1AA (sde)

Importance: warning

 

 

Upon further checking, I tried to invoke the mover manually, and it didn't do anything. I turned on logging, and this is what the log shows:

 

Mar  2 10:24:57 Uxie emhttpd: shcmd (295): /usr/local/sbin/mover start |& logger -t move &
Mar  2 10:24:57 Uxie move: mover: started
Mar  2 10:24:57 Uxie move: skip: /mnt/disk1/system/docker/docker.img
Mar  2 10:24:57 Uxie move: mover: finished

 

The mover starts and finishes immediately without any files being moves. The cache drive is 500 GB (355 GB full), the array has enough free space (1.7 TB/2.02 TB free on two drives, respectively).

 

Initial Google searches have led me to problems with the Mover Tuner plugin, but I have never used it, so this can't be my issue.

 

One thing that seems highly suspicious to me is the incorrect cache drive name in the "Description" in the notification. My drive is identified as

CT500MX500SSD1_2204E600A1AA - 500 GB (sdc)

in the "pool devices" section; but in the e-mail, it was listed as sde instead. I checked the previous unraid notification e-mails regarding full cache; they did indeed mention the drive as sdc previously.

 

Another thing that is suspicious is that in my Share settings for my primary Media share, the Primary storage (for new files and folders) is currently "Array". I believe this should be Cache, no? I want my new files/folders to be created on Cache and to be moved to Array in the night.

 

Given this information: any ideas on what could be wrong and how I can fix it?

Correct, if there's no primary/secondary nothing will be moved.

Well that's weird. I've not touched this setting since 2020 or 2021, basically, for several years. I've set it up now to use Cache as Primary and Array as Secondary, as it was before, and the Mover runs.

 

Why did it reset, I wonder?

 

Well in any case, thanks for the quick sanity check, it seems to work now.
