I've had my unraid server runnig for well over a year now and everything was fine, just as I intended.
New files will be copied to my SSD Cache (because I wanted to make use of my 2,5 Gig Networking) and would be copied over to my HDD-Array at night. During initial data ingest process I've even started the mover automatically to move stuff "live" while new files were coming in. That has worked as described since the beginning.

Lately I noticed that my Cache was completely filled up and when clicking the "Move" button, nothing happens. This state hasn't changed since a few days.

Can someone help me figure out, why Nothing is moved over to the HDD-Array anymore?

In the log files it seems that there was an imagefile that was automatically backup up in my immich docker that had an awfully long file name and therefore caused some Kind of problem - but even after deleting this file nothing has changed.

Attach Diagnostics ZIP to your NEXT post in this thread. 

Hi, here is the diagnostics file

unraid-diagnostics-20250410-1334.zip

I suppose this is the share you want moved?

 

m---a                             shareUseCache="no"      # Share exists on cache, disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4, disk5

 

If yes, it's set to cache=no, reconfigure the share settings and run the mover.

Attached is a screenshot of the settings of this share. Unfortunately I don't understand which setting I need to change.

As mentioned before, this is how it was set up for more than a year and has worked flawlessly. Could you elaborate?

Those settings to reflect the current share cgf, make a dummy change, apply and post new diags.

I've tried to change a few settings, save them, etc. The mover always stops working right after clicking the button: 

 

Apr 10 17:08:42 UNRAID emhttpd: shcmd (1333): /usr/local/sbin/mover start |& logger -t move &
Apr 10 17:08:42 UNRAID move: mover: started
Apr 10 17:08:42 UNRAID move: mover: finished
Apr 10 17:08:45 UNRAID emhttpd: shcmd (1334): /usr/local/sbin/mover start |& logger -t move &
Apr 10 17:08:45 UNRAID move: mover: started
Apr 10 17:08:45 UNRAID move: mover: finished

 

I've attached a new diagnostics file after trying to change the settings - maybe it will help...

You appear to have 2 .cfg files with that same (or very similar) name.

 

What do you get from command line with this?

ls -lah /boot/config/shares

Yep, it's a capitalization issue, delete /config/shares/MEDIA.cfg on the flash drive, then reapply the settings for media, and it should then work.

Actually, there was a .cfg file for MEDIA, which is a user share that doesn't actually exist.

 

And the user share that does exist, media, had no .cfg, so it had default settings.

Correct, when this happens, only one of them can exist in the flash drive, the other one will still appear in the diags, but it's not saved to flash, since it cannot be saved because of being FAT32, I guess it exists in RAM, to fix users just needs to delete the one that exists, and reapply the settings to the other one., and now it will get created.

Okay thanks - just to be clear on how to solve it: i need to shut down the server, remove the usb stick and delete said file, while it is attached to another PC? or is there a way to open some kind of file explorer where I'm able to do that?

Unraid V7 has Dynamix File Manager built-in.

 

Go to MAIN - Boot Device and click the arrow box icon to the left of flash to browse into the flash drive, and then click on the config folder in that then the shares folder in that, then check the box to the left of MEDIA.cfg and use the DELETE button at the bottom.

Thank you so much! The mover is moving files again
