Hi all,

I recently added 2 new drives. I've noticed Mover is no longer moving files in any reasonable time frame. I have mover logging enabled, and watching the log, I rarely see any files move.

I also realize I do not have a parity drive. I have 2 new Seagate Ironwolf NAS drives waiting to be installed once this problem is solved.

Diagnostics are attached.

I updated to Unraid 7.1.2. Although mover does move a handful of files, it eventually stops, despite reporting it's still running. New diagnostics attached.

Mover won't move duplicate files:

I went ahead and removed the duplicate files. I was under the impression that mover would skip the files. This did get things moving and mover has moved nearly 3TB of data over the last few days now, so thank you for your advice.

I'm attaching new diagnostics moreso for my understanding - mover is being extremely slow compared to what I'm used to, with no changes minus new, identical drives, being added to my server (same drives I already use). This may be my own fault, but nonetheless, I at least want to try to understand what the hold up is.

Edit: It appears mover has grinded to a halt again.

There appears to be a container constantly restarting, see if you find out which by looking at their uptimes, then reboot to clear the logs, run the mover, post new diags.
