February 7, 20197 yr 6 hours ago, jbrodriguez said: As for best practices, you should use unbalance exclusively (no other writes to at least the target disk(s)). Turbo Write (unraid settings) should get you a speed bump. This plugin is awesome, so easy to use! Thanks!!
February 8, 20197 yr The main reason im using this, is to be able to change file system on 2 of my drives. Once i have change both drives, and i want to re-scatter files around, im going to assume that unbalance still follows the split levels set by each share?
February 8, 20197 yr Author Hi bdydrp, It works at disk level, not share level, so it doesn't use/see the split levels you set.

February 10, 20197 yr Have just run another instance. Moving contents of Disk 2 to Disk 1 Instead of Move, it seems to have copied the files instead. Could it be because, for some reason disk 2 is set to read only in Fix Common Problems Is there a quick way to verify all of disk 2 contents are on disk 1? apart from exporting disk shares, and using explorer to cross reference? Cheers
February 10, 20197 yr I can see from this screenshot, that all Disk 2 is the same size as Disk 1, for each share (except pc backups, but that fine) Is this good sign that it indeed copied everything to disk 1?
February 10, 20197 yr 30 minutes ago, bdydrp said: Could it be because, for some reason disk 2 is set to read only in Fix Common Problems Fix Common Problems is just reporting that it is set to read only. The Unraid OS set it to read only due to filesystem corruption so it won't get worse. And when it is read only obviously nothing can be removed from it.
February 10, 20197 yr So the move cmd in unbalance will move the files (or this case copy them) and not delete from source?

It will delete the source files if the rsync (copy) command was successful, which seems to be the case as per you screenshot. If you send me the log (/boot/logs/unbalance.log), I can take a look if it was unable to delete the source for some reason (pm if you prefer).

Nothing can delete from a read only source, not any process. Your problem has nothing to do with unBALANCE. You already said your source was reported as read only. Everything is working as it should. It would delete from the source but it can't because the source is read only. You must have filesystem corruption on the source disk.
February 10, 20197 yr Thanks - I was double checking that even tho i had used the move cmd, files were still copied to the target disk even tho disk 2 had errors. Which Yes it did. Disk 2 had an error, so in this case, file were copied from Disk 2 to disk 1. leaving file on source disk. Knowing i had duplicate files, i could safely format disk 2.

Remember that move is just like "copy then delete". If the source disk can't be altered, then the delete portion can't run.

February 12, 20197 yr Author v2019.02.19b (5.5.0) is out ! This is overall a very small release. There was a bug that prevented Reserved Space to be saved. Also, rsync error 13 (Errors with program diagnostics) is now also flagged so it won't stop the whole operation, you will still need to check the logs as for the reasons of the error. Changes: - Allow ReservedAmount/ReservedUnit to be saved to disk - Add error 13 as flagged command - Core libraries updated
February 12, 20197 yr Author 9 minutes ago, tucansam said: %A|%U:%G|%F|%n That's odd. You included all the quotes right ? Do you have some shell other than bash or zsh on your server ? The du command output looks fine. At a loss for ideas, maybe try the most recent version (5.5.0) ?
February 12, 20197 yr Yessir, I copied-and-pasted directly from your post. I do not have any fancy shells, just plain vanilla unraid with few modifications. Right now I am using rsync by hand to move data, but its nowhere near as elegant as your plugin.

Alternatively, copy paste into an intermediary text editor, one that doesn't honour formatting and html, text only.

February 17, 20197 yr Not sure when it started, but Unbalance will no longer run for me, just says 'stopped'. I noticed on 6.7.0-rc3 so I upgraded to 6.7.0-rc4 and still the same. Am I missing something?
February 17, 20197 yr Author Try - Enable unBALANCE server -> No - Apply - Enable unBALANCE server -> Yes - Apply Should work. Let me know otherwise.
