I can see some files moved other ( has 1 dangling link(s))

Related to native unraid move, seems files are linked, or maybe in use?

The files are not in use, but yes they do have hardlinks. It was working before I updated to 7.1.4, when I was on 7.0.1. Are you saying files with hardlinks can't be moved?

Not sure how this should work, not tested much with hardlinks, if you move hard linked files it will break them?

So rsync also should have error when files are hard linked for not break it. Try search this thread I think we talked befor about.

Usually the files get moved and the hardlinks are preserved. If you check the logs after the move it says "(Preserving Hardlinks)" This used to work with both unraid move and Rsync. Now my files only move with Rsync.

Checked the code, yep can be handled

Yep sorry, can be moved but seems something broken for unraid move to move them (dangling link).

Try search forum for this issue, not related to plugin

My understanding is that hardlink preservation is working correctly under 7.1.4 as long as the hard-link is in the same user share.

per this: https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/stable-releases/unraid-714-mover-not-working-since-upgrade-r3991/#findComment-35025

Is there reason to believe, outside of this, that hardlink preservation via the mover with mover tuning, are broken? This would be a big problem for me.

By the post it seems LT changed how unraid move work for hard links (unraid move is closed source)

But you can use rsync tool in plugin if it work, I added unraid move for plugin to be more choices to move files for users but rsync was only tool to move files befor for plugin.

I have the hard-links in the same user share (/mnt/user/data/media & /mnt/user/data/torrents) and didn't have this issue on 7.0.1 which I believe has those same changes from LT

So then how come if I turn off plugin filters then everything moves fine? Only when I enable filters then it doesn't work.

Are you saying that you don't have dangling link, when filters off?

You can enable debug and post debug after all moving.

In case you don't have dangling links when filters off, then it can be becouse unraid mover move entire share but plugin move file by file by move command , I have no clue what code inside unraid move (closed source), so just use rsync if it work fine or (move all after threshold or force mover) for unraid move entire share by unraid mover.

Is it okay that the mover moves files to Moving to the user0 folder? i.e Moving "Moving "/mnt/nvme_cache/./Media/Miscellaneous/Books/Book.pdf" to /mnt/user0/ "? Should it be moving to "/mnt/user/"?

Sorry still don't get why there's a /mnt/user/ and /mnt/user/ directory.

/mnt/user is all array disks + pools. /mnt/user0/ (although depricated) is just the array disks, no pools

Is it possible to exclude a transcode folder like say the one for Plex and Tdarr?

Just check plugin options and help description by pressing on option or F1

It should be depricated in future I believe :)

Still available in 7.2

Mover tuning is not moving the files, it is happening usually after few days, these are mostly files that sits in qbittorent but are not active, I have informations like 123 files 1.2TB moved in 9 seconds. Why is it happening? Without plugin all is working ok.

Also noticed, RSYNC is working but when it is set to mover it doesn't work.

Related to hard linked files?

Read posts above, you can post debug.zip

Looks like it is because of that as I use cross seed, if I change mover tuning to rsync will it break cross-seed/qbittorent hard links or they should be fine? I seed for 30+ days so my 4TB NVME would run of space quickly.

Basically it shold check for not break hard links, you can check with TEST mode maybe or on small amount of files. But you say without plugin it move them?

Hi,
I am experiencing a repeatable and serious issue using CA Mover Tuning (version 2025.10.22, by masterwishx) with Unraid, where essential system plugin files get moved out of their correct location and the affected plugin stops working.

System summary:

• Unraid version: 7.2.0 (initially noticed before the update on 7.1.4)

• CA Mover Tuning version: 2025.10.22

• Affected plugin: Disk Location

• Affected SSD cache pools: ADATA SU800 1TB (docker_appdata) and SAMSUNG EVO 850 500GB (Plex_appdata)

• Related share: appdata (cache: prefer)

• No intentional “pages” share exists in my setup

What happens:
Every time mover runs (manual or scheduled), CA Mover Tuning moves files from /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/disklocation/pages/ (and other plugin files) to my cache/appdata pool, creating a new “pages” folder on SSD (e.g., /mnt/docker_appdata/pages and/or /mnt/plex_appdata/pages). After this, Disk Location disappears from the Tools menu and shows a blank page when launched from the Plugins list. Its cron jobs fail due to missing PHP scripts.

Testing steps I performed:

• Reinstalled Disk Location and removed the unwanted “pages” share to restore normal operation.

• Enabled full mover logging.

• Ran mover manually with standard settings, which immediately moved dozens of plugin files (Disk Location’s “pages” directory and others) out to the cache pool, breaking the plugin again.

• The mover logs clearly show CA Mover Tuning treating these plugin files as share data:

  Moving "./plugins/disklocation/./pages/array_devices.php"  to  /mnt/plex_appdata/
  Moving "./plugins/disklocation/./pages/benchmark.php"  to  /mnt/plex_appdata/
  Moving "./plugins/disklocation/./pages/cronjob.php"  to  /mnt/plex_appdata/
  ... (and more for every file in the plugin)
  

• The Disk Location plugin is only broken when CA Mover Tuning is enabled. This does not happen with the standard mover alone.

• As one more test, I enabled “Test Mode (dry run): Yes” in CA Mover Tuning and ran mover again. In this mode, Disk Location was left untouched and continued to work as expected, confirming it is the move operation itself causing the issue.

Desired outcome:
I need CA Mover Tuning to completely ignore system, OS, and plugin files, especially anything inside /usr/local/emhttp/plugins. This folder should never be treated as share or user data. If there’s some way my settings could affect this, I’d be happy for advice, but I haven’t included any plugin folders in any shares.

I can provide:

• Full logs of the problem

• System diagnostics or additional info upon request

I hope this helps track down the bug. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can check or try.

Thank you!

Please enable debug and logging and post debug.zip by "mover debug" in cli that will include those files moves.
