From the looks at the settings looks like it runs off of a cron schedule? So like ever Tuesday at 3 am should it be ,0 3 * * 2?

if anyone can explain the new

can someone please explain the new settings for me.

The update of cron to plugin is made automatically on update, just check you have disabled unraid mover.

Use cron of plugin in plugin settings now.

You have link to check you cron in help description of cron option...

I'm running version 2026.02.27 on 7.2.3 and I noticed that files with a "$" in the file name are not being moved. Anything I can do so these files move besides scheduling a full flush with the old mover?

Sure, check options and help description by press on option or F1

I've already done all of that. I have disabled "Validate input filenames to prevent attacks" which I thought was causing it but the files are still causing error when it tries to rsync them. Give me a few to dig in the logs and I will post the error when it hits the files.

It seems as rsync error, check if the file exist, or hard link error or file is still using by torrent, becose of that can't be moved.

Also some symbols like ', $, can couse rsync errors...

You can try to change mover mode to move instead rsync

Edited March 4Mar 4 by Masterwishx

I just changed it from rsync for both to move/rsync and running a test to see what happens.

edit: the file is not hard linked and I run the qbit mover script to stop torrents.
Edit2: It did not move the files. I think this is because it is failing to stat the file when it builds it's list. I am running another move with lower % thresholds incase it didn't move them because of that. But seems to me if you are building the list based on date from the stat command and your stat fails, that file will never be in the list to move.

So I'm not much of a coder but I know enough to get AI to help. The problem is you are feeding stat with $6 but $6 has a $ in it that needs to be escaped out. This is the code that AI provided instead of FINDSTR="$FINDSTR cmd=\"stat -c%X \\\"\"\$6\"\\\"\";

# Replace $ with \$

escaped_6="${6//$/\\\$}"

# Use the new escaped variable in your command

FINDSTR="$FINDSTR cmd=\"stat -c%X \\\"\"$escaped_6\"\\\"\";

Edit: looks like AI sucks as usual. I modified the age_mover file and add that code but it is still not escaping the $.

Facing some issues. Unraid says "A total of 27 files representing 172GiB were successfully moved/synced by Mover Tuning plugin. Elapsed time: 2 mins 44 sec". First of all, this feels too fast for 172gb. But more importantly, I don't think anything was moved. My cache disk has filled up and stays 90% usage without moving files (though it says things were moved as above). Same happens when manually running the pluging. Tried both sync and move.

Any known issue these days. Any log helpful to provide?

latest version I think. maybe I am totally blind but I do not see the option in the mover settings.

Just use ctrl+f to find `Ignore files` in settings page.

It's in Mover `Tuning - Filters` section

I'm facing the same issue as @Triplerinse my perfectly working schedule once a week on Sunday at 13:00 doesn't run anymore. (I only boot my unraid server once a week to act as a backup target).
The syslog of my unraid server showed this:
Apr  5 11:47:01 backupserver crond[1900]: failed parsing crontab for user root: SUN /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ca.mover.tuning/mover start |& logger -t move
Apr  5 12:25:01 backupserver crond[1900]: failed parsing crontab for user root: SUN /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ca.mover.tuning/mover start |& logger -t move
Apr  5 13:00:11 backupserver crond[1900]: failed parsing crontab for user root: SUN /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ca.mover.tuning/mover start |& logger -t move

This is how I configured the mover schedule..
Any hints on what I did wrong?
