I'm trying to replace my cache drive, so I need to move all files off of it first. However, when I run the mover, it starts and immediately finishes without actually moving any data:
 

May 5 00:28:58 sheik move: mover: started 
May 5 00:28:58 sheik move: mover: finished

 

I'm specifically trying to move the media share, which currently has over 500GB of files on the cache. I've read that many people with a similar issue found the "Mover Tuning" plugin to be the culprit, but I've never had that installed on my system.

 

Any idea what's going on here?

Check in the config/shares folder on the flash drive that there is a .cfg file for the share with the same spelling AND capitalization as the actual share folders on your drives.   Looks like there may be a mismatch on capitalization.

M---a                             shareUseCache="yes"     # Share does not exist
m---a                             shareUseCache="no"      # Share exists on cache, disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4, disk5, disk6, disk7, disk8

 

After checking (and correcting) the case issue, check the share settings are now as you want them (primary cache, secondary array, mover direction cache->array)  and make a dummy change (e.g. change the comment) and hit Apply to write a new configuration file.

That seems to have been the culprit! I fixed the case issue in the .cfg file and the share is moving as expected now.

 

Thanks for your help! 🙌
