October 12, 2025Oct 12 All of a sudden I'm not able to move files from my cache drive (Downloads) to my array. It was working fine and now it does not move anything. The scheduler is not working and also when I manually press the Move button nothing happens. I'm not sure what is going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thank youimportimage-diagnostics-20251012-0759.zip Edited October 12, 2025Oct 12 by Importimage1

Mainly I'm trying to move the share "Downloads" That's were my media gets downloaded to and then move to my drives. But it appears to not be working or moving anything. The "Move" button is back to being able to click on vs being grayed out when It's moving. Thank you

I have over 800GB to transfer from "downloads" share to my drives.
October 14, 2025Oct 14 Community Expert Not sure I follow; the log shows the files being moved, and the downloads share no longer had anything on the pool:# Share exists on disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4, disk5, disk6, disk7, disk8, disk9, disk10, disk11, disk12, disk13, disk14, disk15

There's still 800GB in that cache drive. It will not move the files. It just stops as soon as I hit Move.
October 14, 2025Oct 14 Community Expert As the previous quote shows there is nothing on the "downloads" drive for the "downloads" share at the time of those diags. So look at other shares to see where data is present and check the settings for those.Apparently there's a "t..p" (temp?) share that does have data on that drive and is set to only live there so won't be moved.

Yes I guess the TEMP folder is the cache folder "Downloads" In my shared folder folder which is also my cache drive "downloads" that is were my downloads go and then when the mover is active it would move the files over to the drives on my server. I made no changes and It's been working for years and now it just won't transfer or move from my downloads cache drive to my hard drives. My cache drive downloads still has 800GB that need to be moved1 hour ago, Kilrah said:As the previous quote shows there is nothing on the "downloads" drive for the "downloads" share at the time of those diags.

October 15, 2025Oct 15 Community Expert You're confusing your disk pool "downloads" with your share you created "Downloads"These two things are not related other than in name only. Edited October 15, 2025Oct 15 by MowMdown

I have a TEMP and Downloads shared folder. From there I have a pool named downloads. When I started Unraid, that's how I was told to to create them. I've been running it like this for around 8 years until I had the issue this time. How would you recommend I do this? I have my media download to a pool/cache drive "Downloads" From there it moves the files to the drives. Thank you

Thank youWhat you have done is not necessarily wrong but I think it leaves room for confusion at times. I think having a physical device (the pool) and a logical device (the share) having he same name can be confusing. I would just rename the pool to something like "Downloads_Pool" so that you never get any mix-up between the pool name and the share name. If you do this you would obviously then need to adjust any references to the pool to match your change.
