Cache files not moving to Drives

Featured Replies

I setup a new unRAID box so sorry for all the posts, I'll get there I swear.

 

I just wanted to check in on some things.

I created a media share, using all drives, and cache to yes.

 

Now setup Sonarr, Radarr, nzbget and so on.

Sonarr is working as expected and is mounting to /mnt/user/media/TV Shows/

 

I can see my cache drives have already filled to 60gb, and my storage disks are still empty with no files.

I clicked the invoke mover under main and still nothing.

 

Is this normal and will files move across at some point?

I just wanna make sure I set it up correctly, and dont look back in a day or two and my cache be full.

 

Sounds like something isn't setup right. Are you absolutely sure you have set the user share to cache-yes and not cache-prefer or cache-only? Post diagnostics.

I think it's actually Settings>Global Share Settings (at least on 6.3.5).

Also I see this in the logs:

Aug 14 12:17:36 Odin emhttpd: req (7): cmdStartMover=Move+now&csrf_token=EAC9CAD28A09E171
Aug 14 12:17:36 Odin emhttpd: shcmd (6868): /usr/local/sbin/mover |& logger &
Aug 14 12:17:36 Odin emhttpd:

Here is Global Share Settings:

Anyone have any ideas?

It sounds as if using the cache disk for Shares has not been enabled under Settings>>Global Share Settings.

You can see my screenshot, it is...

Try toggling the "Use cache Drive" setting to 'off',  restart then array,   and then toggle it back 'on'.

 

IT looks like everything is set up properly.  (At least for the Global settings and the one share that you showed.)

 

This are perhaps some really stupid questions.  You have checked to see that your don't have any issues with your cache drive.  And do you actually have some files on the cache drive that need to be moved?

I've stopped the array, toggled the switch applied, toggled back, applied, upped min space to 50gb, applied.

Started the array and clicked mover, and it seems to be progressing...

 

Random but at least its working.

Next issue...

 

Its moving but moving it all onto 1 drive.

I have 3x 8tb drive, 1 Parity, and 2x data.

 

Shares are set at High-Water, and all included disks.

But disk 2 is reporting: 0 objects: 0 directories, 0 files

Disk 1 is up to 65gb full and counting as it moves files off the Cache.

 

I thought it should use them equally? 

 

*Edit* Ah wait, is this because its a series of writes, and the next time I do a move it should use the other disk as its less full?

Turn on help, and read the descriptions for the allocation methods.

Yeah sorry, makes sense now :)

In the past I've had configuration files become corrupted and changing any setting will correct the problem. This may be what happened to you.

Maybe.. But it was a totally brand new build. So hopefully it didnt become corrupt so soon.

Virtually all of the time, this type of corruption is a completely  random event.  It is as liable to  happen the first time the server restarts (or reboots) or it could be the 100,000 time. That is why it took so long for someone to finally suggest that you try it...
