Mover issue

Featured Replies

I am on Unraid version 7.0.0. Attached is the diagnostics Zip file. Mover is only moving some of the files for some of the shares and ignoring other shares entirely from the cache drive to the array. e.g. It moves files in share "tv" but not "movies" I can manually invoke mover and the syslog file shows that it started and stopped.

I read through several other threads regarding mover issues. I don't have the mover tuning plugin installed.

The config file names match the share names including case.

I ran the "Clean Up" function from the Shares web UI page. It deleted 3 config files. Not sure which ones.

I've seen references to a "data.cfg" file which I don't seem to have. Not sure if that was a share name or a system config file.

I've checked shareDisks.txt output and the shares are set correctly with shareUseCache="yes"

Config files exist for each share.

All disks have plenty of free space.

Here is an example diff (tv.cfg is working movies.cfg is not working):

diff tv.cfg movies.cfg

2c2

< shareComment="Television"

---

> shareComment="Movies"

8c8

< shareSplitLevel="3"

---

> shareSplitLevel="2"

Here is an example of mover moving some files from /var/log/syslog:

Dec  2 14:31:52 nas1 emhttpd: shcmd (11076914): /usr/local/sbin/mover start |& logger -t move &

Dec  2 14:31:52 nas1 move: mover: started

Dec  2 14:31:52 nas1 emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdc

Dec  2 14:32:02 nas1 move: move: /mnt/cache/tv/Below Deck Mediterranean/Season 10/Below Deck Mediterranean.S10E10.Bowing Out.WEBDL-1080p.x264.AAC.mkv Success

Dec  2 14:32:02 nas1 move: mover: finished

It should have moved many other files for several other shares as well. Any assistance is appreciated.

Enable mover logging, run the mover, post new diagnostics.

Thank you for your reply. Mover logging was already enabled. I manually ran mover and have attached the new diagnostics file. It looks like syslog is being rotated sometime after the daily scheduled mover and being deleted. I have a remote syslog server that has the mover log file.

It was, sorry, I misread.

The movies share cfg doesn't have the pool name, go that share, make sure primary is set to the pool, array as secondary, click apply (make a dummy change if needed , and then try again.

Thank you. Your dummy change suggestion worked. I changed all the problematic shares to be array primary and then back to cache primary. Next, I added the array back as secondary. So everything is back to the way it was previously. I then configured the mover action to be from cache to array. I then manually started the mover and it moved everything that it should have been moving. The share config files are the same as before. However, it is working now. I really appreciate your help.

BTW, also recommend updating to the latest release; that issue would not have happened with 7.1 or 7.2
