Ok, I removed the mover plugin and so forth, only share that's set to use the mover is my downloads.  

 

Last night I could tell it was running (I get pauses when trying to start playing something in Emby), went to the server and sure enough every core full red.

It's running right now and now emby is running like a slug.

I would suggest opening a new thread under general support and post your log files.  There are several other threads dealing with similar issues with mover and it looks like it could be a number of possible things.

Question, would it be possible to add a progress bar or percentage completed on the bottom bar while the mover is running?

@Squid Any chance this is getting updated for 6.9 in the future? 😁

 

Can't currently use this as it breaks the mover when using multiple cache pools.

I branched Squid's original mover and mine is now the one listed in Community Apps.

 

I don't have a dev box to install 6.9 to.  I am also in the middle of buying a house and moving.  However,  if someone can post the 6.9 mover script I will try and get the code ready to handle multiple cache pools.

Mover tuning and 6.9

 

There's a few problems with this.

 

 

My original design used the existing script and simply called it appropriately based upon usage.

• This method will still work but, the design of the plugin itself only checked for usage on the pool named "cache".  The way that the mover script works is that once it's called, all cache pools get moved appropriately.
• The work around for this is to modify the stock script so that another parameter can be issued which sets which cache pool to move, and only move that one.  If you do the coding, LT would probably include the changes in the stock script.  (No guarantees though)
• Then in the plugin, you'd allow multiple schedules for each given pool and call the script accordingly.

 

The "new" plugin, also allows for movement of specific files based upon date (as I recall). 

• This would involve a rewrite / patch of the stock script to look for the dates, but also has the same problem as the above I would think.
• If you do the coding via another parameter to the script, LT *may* (or may not) accept the changes.  The key to any changes if you want it accepted is that the script still would have to operate identically if those extra parameters aren't specified.

 

You would also require to have the plugin selectively choose which of the versions of the script to replace it with.  Either the 6.8 one or the 6.9 one depending upon the OS version.

 

Or, you can leave the script completely stock and forgo any of the date range options within the plugin and have it look at the pool named "cache" (or possibly another selectable pool to look at) for usage, and then the user has to accept that all pools will get moved.

 

Because of the multiple cache pool issues, with the plugin more or less replacing the stock script, unexpected results (ie: mover not working on other pools), I'm going to mark this plugin as incompatible with 6.9 until such time as @hugenbdd decides upon the direction this plugin should take.

(Or only having a single pool, but the pool isn't named "cache")

mover

That all being said, if you can live with the shortcomings I *could* resurrect the original plugin, but no support would be given on it.

If I don't have multiple cache pools on Beta 25 will this still work?  I just have the standard cache pool named "Cache"

yes

If only the cache pool has shares that are set to yes or prefer, and the other pools are set to Only, will it work?

Depends.  YMMV.  The original plugin is only a front-end to the mover and doesn't replace any coding at all.  The replacement fork replaces the coding in mover.

 

Net result is that IF you have multiple cache pools then mover will not operate correctly on the replacement.  It should be OK (no guarantees) if all the other pools are set to be only, and you only use the "cache" pool.

 

The original plugin will work properly but will always execute mover based upon the current state of the "cache" pool.

 

The original (and now unsupported) plugin's url is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Squidly271/ca.mover.tuning/master/plugins/ca.mover.tuning.plg

Thanks - that fits my scenario perfectly as my other non-cache pools contain pool only shares.

Update: even with the shares on other pools set to 'Only' the plugin sadly doesn't work for the cache pool:

Hey there,

 

normally mover tuning works fine for me. every 3 hours the mover schedule starts and moves my file, if the cache is fuller than 50%. (i am right?)

 

i want to replace my cache drives while following this guide: https://wiki.unraid.net/Replace_A_Cache_Drive

now the "move now" button doesn't work. english is not my first language and i think i misunderstand some options. maybe someone can help me.

 

thanks

I would suggest removing the plug in, then moving everything.

 

I'm working on getting a Dev box up and running so I can continue working on this for the new Beta.

Any plans on adding an option exclude certain folders within a share to be moved to the array? 

It appears that I must have something configured wrong with mover tuning. I keep getting high disk usage warnings for cache even though I have mover tuning set to start mover at 80% (I think). What do I need to change?

The Fix Common Problems script is telling me my ca mover tuning plugin is deprecated, then links to an update fork for me, but there's no url or anything to install it there.

Oh, apparently 'Apps' are now the same as 'Plugins' ? Why the different tabs in the menu then?

Plugins (and Docker) are built-in Unraid capabilities, and there is no Apps tab in standard Unraid.  Only if you install the Community Applications plugin do you get a new Apps tab that provides an easy way to find and install both plugins and Docker containers.

Very few authors still publish the URLs to any of the plugins, etc because Community Applications (Apps) removes that complexity away from the user.

Weird question....anyone having issues where Mover doesn't run at all if the Tuner plugin is installed? I haven't really used the Mover much because of such a new install and I just started configuring up some things to run in the cache and be moved every night. However, haven't been able to get Mover to work at all unless I fired it off manually. Once I uninstalled the Tuner, Mover started working just fine automatically. I'll be reinstalling again and trying to figure out the issue, but was curious if anyone had run across this before.

Simply uninstall the current and then look for it in the app section and reinstall it. That’s all I did. 

I cannot find this plugin in "Apps", has it been removed?

 

Edit:

It looks like it is not compatible with my version of unRaid:

Hello,

I just updated to 6.9.0 beta 35 and fcp said I needed to uninstall ca mover tuning as it was not compatible with beta35. Any ide if it will be coming to 35 soon?

 

thx
