Hi

Im on unraid 7.0.1

Mover tuning plugin latest version

Unfortunately the mover tuning is not working, the logs also dont show anything related to the mover tuning doesn’t, the unraid mover is moving all files from cache to array and is not considering the parameters in the mover tuning plugin .

I have attached the mover tuning plugin settings below .

This plugin has been deprecated and should no longer be used due to the following reason(s): Recommended to install the version from masterwishx While this plugin should still be functional, it is not recommended to continue to use it

I don't see instructions on how to update from the old version to the new version in the GitHub repo and searching this thread has been difficult to find anything useful because of how long it is. Can someone please point me in the right direction and also try make it easier to find these instructions?

its the one from the CA App Store ...

if you are unsure, uninstall the existing one, then CA Apps, install the actual one.

My concern is losing settings/reapplying settings. i.e. does it transfer automatically, if not do I need to export, if there is no export button should I take a screenshot etc

There wasn't much confirmation that this was the correct understanding of "synchronize" works.

The last update I was added some code for synchronization so you need to to count what is in help description and last Posts here on this page and befor. (synchronise will work when cache pool lower both theesholds.) also you can now set max file size for synchronization.

But you need to test it by yourself.

The plugin main function is to move data :)

You can enable debug log and press on debug.zip or (mover debug) in cli and post here.

Make flash backup first, then check if some old options are same as in new plugin.

Should be no issues to migrate.

Is there any workaround to run a script before and after mover runs? Or, is there another way to stop a torrent client when mover runs?

Sure, you have both options

I will try to change help description inside but, description from right is not clear?

When I read it, I found the text to the right confusing. The longer description inside is fine, in my opinion

If you can explain what is confusing will be cool becouse i dont think text from right is confusing :)

Why is mover not moving? Is it because it’s on a schedule? I don’t want it to be on one but am confused by the terminology.

its scheduled to run only monthly on the 1st at 3 am ...

thats the trigger to run the mover, mover tuning are rules to follow up then when the mover runs ...

may rather describe your target behaviour ...

+30 days old files shell move ? let it run daily then, so there will be a daily run, anything +30 days old will be moved away ...

It seems like my config leads to a loop. Every time the mover runs, it moves the same amount of 360 something GB, but I know that I don't have that much ingress on cache to move. Something makes it move data back and forth, causing unnecessary writes and reads. For now, I need to disable mover.

I will check your debug later, but sound like you have enabled cache:prefer? Array to cache move?

Wondering if theres an option to still force turbo write when forcing a move but to ignore the Only move if above this threshold of used Primary (cache) space option. For example when I need to reboot my server id like to have everything moved off of cache and into the array beforehand. Currently I have to adjust the threshold first then run the mover manually and then change the threshold back.

1. With hardlinks Arr and Crossseed setup, should `Move files tool` be set as Move or Rclone?

2. Mine was somehow set as Rclone and I noticed when it is moving files that are strictly in a hardlinked folder, such as torrent "/cross-seeds/files" folder, moving these files still occupied space. Is this expected behavior?

3. If "Move" should be used, I've just tried that and I believe the size calculation may not be working correctly, as the plugin will think it is moving "100GB" of files, but it will fly through thousand of files and no actual data are moved.

Maybe I'm making these too complicated for it is, my goal is to just have the right setup options for a hardlink setup, so let me know which options to set and to what values.

Thanks

Not sure if related, when trying to generate the Debug zip. it will fail with slog messages:

Sep  1 16:48:28  kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev dm-2, logical block 0, async page read

You have separate option move all after some percent or use cron for move all files.

Also you can use `mover.old start` for use unraid move.

Turbo write is unraid future that spin all disk for more speed.

Is anyone interested in multi Lang support for the plugin?

Ok so I still want turbo write to enable when I run the mover manually. With how the plugin is currently the mover will not run with the "move now" button unless the cache is above 50% used. The only way to run the mover with this plugin installed if the cache is below 50% is to disable "Move Now button follows plug-in filters". But this means turbo write wont enable during the move process unless I change the disk mode manually first. Basically I just want the move now button to enable turbo write but ignore the threshold. If thats even possible. Also I have the logging disabled but the cron that is created still shows it enabled. 0 7 * * * /usr/local/sbin/mover.old start |& logger -t move

I clicked the link to generate zip in the settings gui page. Is there other ways I can try it? A cli command maybe?

Thanks.

Oh so you have turbo mode disabled on disks.

Logging option it's for plugin but you can disable logging in shedule option of mover. But this will also disable plugin logging IIRC.

So you can run command to enable turbo mode manually.

Yep, run `mover debug`

Yes but I want it to enable turbo write during the mover when I use the Move Now button but I dont want it to respect the threshold set in the plugin.

Apparently changing the settings in the plugin does update the .cfg but doesnt update the .cron. I have logging set to disabled in both the normal mover settings as well as the plugin but the .cron file does not update.
