Mover Problems

Featured Replies

Hi, I'm running unRAID 5.0.4 as a KVM virtual machine and I am having some problems with the mover.

 

When trying to move the TV shows off the cache drive into the TV share, I get a bunch of errors about not having enough space.

 

However according to the shares tab I have over 8TB left of space.  It looks like some of the files get moved, but most of them error out.  I don't know what I missing, and I'm hoping its something simple and stupid.  I've attatched a syslog from a fresh boot, then mover invoke (truncated some of it, because its just the same errors over again).

 

Any help would be great.  Can it be because of the split level?

TV Share:

Array Size: Oddly enough the share shows over 8TB but the actual total is 7.8TB, don't know whats causing that.

Trying to get a smart report seems to fail, I'm assuming thats because of the VM?  Its a M1015 conncected to a HP SAS Expander, passed through so I'm not sure if that affects it at all.  The error for all the disks is:

smartctl -t long -d ata /dev/sdb 2>&1

More likely to be the 'min free space' although i'm no expert. Surely this has to have a value other than '0KB' in order to prevent the disc filling up and getting into bother although any overspill should just bypass cache and hit the array at the time its sent. NormallY set at 2x the largeSt file size expected if yOu are intending to group together (split level 2). I'd start there .... wait for an 'expert' to come along soon.

Don't know about your mover problem, but you are installing Dynamix wrong. The main Dynamix webGUI plugin must be in /boot/plugins (system plugins) so that it gets installed before the other components that are in /boot/config/plugins (user plugins). This is causing your other Dynamix plugins to fail installation because the main Dynamix webGUI plugin is not installed yet when they try to install.

All my other shares have the same setting for free space.  Now in my share list, only the TV share is showing 8.11 TB instead of 7.86 TB like every other share.  Weird, I will try changing the min free space, and see if that helps.

Set to min free space to "50GB". This will accommodate the largest blu-ray iso's. You can top off the disks manually once they exceed the minimum.

Right before I read this, I decided to copy off 100GB from one of my disks (as it was at 32kb free), I then changed the minimum free space to 30GB, changed it to "most-free", and restarted the mover.  It's been running for awhile now, and not a single error yet.  I have about 300 more GB to move off, so we'll see how it goes.

Yes thank you I fixed that.  Well it looks like my errors came back, and the mover seemed to ignore the min free space, because now drive 1 has 0bytes free, and only about 50GB got moved off the drive.  I assuming its disk 1 which is causing the problems as its the only one close to being full (well it is full now).  I'm going to try to exclude that disk to see if I can force it to ignore it.

 

Edit:  So the mover just completely ignores the 60GB minimum free, and the excluding disk 1.  Should I try reducing the split level to 1?

Split level has precidence.

 

I've disabled the split level and it still does the same thing.  Is there no way to fix this other than to move the files over manually? If I do that, the cache drive will just fill up again, and I'll be stuck in the same position.

What do you mean by "disabled"?

I set it to: "Disabled - combine files to share 'TV' using the allocation method."

This doesn't make any sense. Revert to the stock GUI.

The problem is still here, I'm now on unRAID v6 beta 4.  I have set the split-level to 0, and have excluded the disk that is full.  It is still trying to copy over to that drive. 

 

Currently the only way to avoid this problem is copy large amounts of data off the full drive, onto another drive.  Which isn't favorable at all.

Leave split level blank or set it to 3 or more.
