February 12Feb 12 I recently noticed that my cache drive was sitting at 100% utilization. I've seen utilization get pretty high before and I've typically manually invoked the mover to move files from the cache drive to the array. This time when I tried to manually invoke the mover, my webpage flashes as if to acknowledge request, but then nothing happens. The cache drive continues to sit at 100% and I don't see any action in Reads or Writes which would indicate a move process is happening.Anybody have any idea on whats going on or things to try? I don't believe anything has been updated but I'm also concerned that this has been a latent issue for a while and I just haven't noticed until now.chellos-diagnostics-20260211-2339.zip Edited February 12Feb 12 by ArmedArtist Adding screenshot
February 12Feb 12 You should set a Minimum Free Space value for the 'cache' pool to set the limit at which it should overflow to the array rather than fill the 'cache' pool too far. In addition you also set the Minimum Free Space setting for shares (in particular the Media share) to set the conditions at which Unraid should switch to another array drive if one gets too full.Neither of the above will directly address why mover is not working so follow @JorgeB advice as well to help us with diagnosing why.
February 12Feb 12 Author chellos-diagnostics-20260212-0810.zipenabled mover logs, rebooted the machine and tried to invoke the mover. Looking at the syslog, I only see "mover: started", "mover: finished" so I'm unsure if there's usually supposed to be more or if the log level somehow needs to be set to be more verbose.

I see some people refer to an add-on "mover tuning", is this what I would need to define the Minimum Free Space for the cache pool?
February 12Feb 12 No, you click on the "cache" pool name. Array has to be stopped to set min free space on it.Mover tuning is a source of issues more often than not.
February 12Feb 12 Not clear that any of them should be related to this issue, but all of your plugins are too far out-of-date to be updated. You should remove them all, reboot, and reinstall the latest versions. You should always make sure all of your plugins are up-to-date before upgrading Unraid.
February 12Feb 12 It might also be worth updating to the latest Unraid stable release (7.2.3) as the version you are running (7.0.1) is now quite old.
February 12Feb 12 Solution I assume most of the data to be moved is in the Media share, if yes, that is missing the pool name in the share.cfg; updating to 7.2 will resolve that.
