I have a 500Gb M.2 drive as my cache drive and it's full.

 

I had it scheduled to move daily and it appeared to not have moved. I changed it to move hourly on the hour. That setting appeared to have saved, but still it's not moving. I've tried clicking the Move button at the bottom of the Settings page to immediately invoke the Mover, but nothing happens. When I go to Mover Settings and try the Move Now nothing happens.

 

I've checked the logs and it says the mover has started and immediately finished.

 

 

I have 29TB of free space on my array.  I'm running UnRaid 7.0.1.  I'm not using any mover tuning plugins.  I upgraded to 7.0 several months ago and I know it's worked since then.  I can't think of any changes or updates I've made that would have affected it.  

 

Any idea what's going on?

What is the name of the share(s) you expect to be moved?

Looking at the diagnostics it look like there is no Primary Storage configured for shares that have files on the ‘cache’ pool.    Check the settings, and if necessary make a dummy change and then hit Apply to cause the configuration file to be recreated and then post new diagnostics.

Thanks for the replies.  I'm not sure I know the answer to the first question.  

 

Here's my Shares tab.  I've basically ripped some movies and then saved them to my Media share.  But looking at the Storage column, it appears that it goes right to the array.  Even though my cache drive was filled with every transfer.  

 

 

@itimpi I'm not following.  "no Primary Storage configured for shares that have files on the ‘cache’ pool" makes since I think since I've moved files over to my Media share.  But if that was the case, why is the Cache filling up?  

 

"Check the settings, and if necessary make a dummy change and then hit Apply to cause the configuration file to be recreated and then post new diagnostics."  

 

Apologies, I'm just not understanding.  

 

 

Each user share has settings. Click on the share name to get to its settings. The settings we are concerned with are described here:

https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/shares/user-shares/#primary-and-secondary-storage-unraid-612

 

Some of your shares aren't really configured for those particular settings.

For future reference, it looks like the diagnostics you attached had not finished downloading before you attached, so I had to open them with a special program. Not sure how complete they were but I was able see the information we are concerned with here.

I'm basically using the shares that go straight to the array as backup.  I don't really plan on accessing on the regular.  But reading the link you attached, should I have everything go Cache->Array?

No, you want appdata, domains, system shares to stay on cache. And those are already all on cache.

Set them to Primary:cache; Secondary:none.

 

The only other shares with files on cache are Media, Music, and Pictures.

Set these shares to Primary:cache; Secondary:array; Mover action:cache->array.

Okay, I changed all the shares I created to Cache->Array and the mover started moving.  That fixed my initial problem.  

 

Just for clarification, you said " appdata, domains, system shares to stay on cache." but unnless you're looking at something I'm not, I see appdata and domains are on Array and system is Cache <- Array.  Just to confirm, I should change all these to Primary: Cache and Secondary: None?

 

I've had this set up (I assume incorrectly) for probably 6 or 7 years.  This must have come to light in the 7.0 upgrade?

You are probably looking at that screenshot you already posted, which is based on incomplete settings for your shares. And even if they were complete, it would only be the settings you see there and not where files actually are currently.

7.0 upgrade?

Seems upgrade didn't always complete some share settings that were not needed on previous versions.

Thanks again.  I appreciate the help.
