[Plugin] Mover Tuning

Featured Replies

Quick question:

"Ignore files and folders listed inside of a text file" only seems to work for the 'tuned' mover that I run once every hour, but it doesn't work for the forced move that happens every day. Is there a way to also exclude files with the forced mover?

Is this a bug? I've just switched the tool to 'Move' and so far I'm seeing better results.

Synchronize use only rsync ,but for move files you can choose what tool to use.

No , Forced mover run : unraid mover that move all files in share

'Rsync' then synchronize and my mover thresholds are completely ignored

Sync work when pool is below Moving threshold

Thanks i found the bug , will be fixed in next version

What would be the easiest way to "un-synchronize" the files I now have on both array and cache ? Rebalance ?

Edited by yanno

Need some help, always had mover set to move everything, but recently started seeding more etc and keep much more data on cache, hence I was going to upgrade my cache. To do it I have to move all files, so I changed settings to what I think should enforce movement but it mover moved only 5Gb etc despite saying in notification that it moved 600Gb in 3min(got fast HDD😅) can someone tell me which setting is messing with move?

To move all files without plugin settings, you need to use force move that will run unraid move. Or `mover.old start` in cli

Any updates on the turbo write issues?

Hi i have mover tuning plugin installed and i have set it to disable the mover running on schedule, in other words i dont want mover to run at all , but mover is still running on date and time i set and its moving the files from cache to array

What i want is to disable mover on schedule completely

Do you have force mover enabled?

On 7.1.4, turbo write does not enable when running mover manually or when the force move on schedule runs. Turbo write only enables when mover is triggered by used space threshold.

Do you mean if turbowrite enabled in settings?

Correct. It is enabled but it does not turn tubo write on before the mover runs.

I have tried with it both enabled and disabled. Neither works. Id assume turbo write is not part of the "Filters" as it is not in that section and would always enable turbo write on every mover start.

Do you run I test mode maybe?

mvlogger "$(titleLine 'LET THE MOVING SHOW BEGIN !' '*')"
    if [ "$ENABLETURBO" = "yes" ]; then
        mvlogger "Forcing turbo write on"
        [ "$TESTMODE" != "yes" ] && /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd set md_write_method 1
    fi

It's just section name, all options are in same code, that read your config.

No not in test mode.

Still doesnt run with turbowrite no matter what I change. No turbowrite with manual or cron mover. But I do get turbowrite when mover runs due to usage threshold.

Mover is not disabled. But here are new logs. Turbowrite is now working with manual move. But still not with cron force move all.

Hi @Masterwishx ,

I think the latest update v2025.10.03 broke "ignore files and folders listed inside of a text file" functionality

This feature was working for me before the update and now after updating it does not work.

I have File List Path set to /mnt/user/Media/scripts/mover_exclusions.txt and the contents of that file are:

/mnt/plotter_cache/Media/Usenet/Incomplete
/mnt/user/Media/Usenet/Incomplete

But now post-update, the files inside of those folders are being moved. Here is a screenshot of all of my settings

I'm trying to create it but I'm getting an error message:

ERROR: The Mover Tuning Debug Package Generation Script has failed - no response from the bash backend.

In your log you can see:

09:00:02.222 Enable Turbo: yes

When you run force cron it run unraid move without plugin options, so it use your unraid settings for turbo write
