Any idea why mover doesn’t seem to be moving? Linked are my settings. I definitely don’t think all my files are newer than 30 days. Thank you for any help.

no missunderstanding, assuming your system Share ist that huge then your setup looking ok so far.

then may post your log from mover tuning as its enabled already, it should tell something what is why happening, better speaking not happening in your case ;)

Do you have any ideas on how to fix my problem? It is still giving me the notification hourly and it is really annoying.

simply check your syslog, you enabled to also log there (to check whats happening)

advanced and may get better help, simply fetch the complete logs incl. diags from here (webui)

You need to post debug.zip

Or you can set notifications only when files moving

You need to enable logging and debug logging, then let plugin run some times and then post debug.zip

Also not sure why in syslog :

```move: 2910766 ? R 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ca.mover.tuning/age_mover start```

OK so for some reason enabling both logs disabled the notification... I have tried disabling logging before because of this issue but I have always had debug logging disabled and I don't know which one caused the fix but anyway it's fixed now. Weird way to fix it...

How do you run plugin by cron only?

In latest version I changed some stuff about posting to syslog when running by cli and button it was not working befor, but not sure how it related to your issue...

Okay, I downloaded the zip file and have the logs but is there a way to post them without exposing my IP address? I feel like that's bad but I dont know any better haha thank you!

if your WAN IP (external IP) would be in diags you are correct, but im not aware that there would be a external IP in diags, they are "masked", your internal LAN IP's are not interesting as they are not unique ;) like 10... 192... and so on.

So I restarted my NAS and I started getting the notifications again. I have tried all of these fixes to no avail

  1. Turning off notifications

  2. turning off logging

  3. changing mover type to rsync and back

  4. disabled plugin cron and added a user script with the command

  5. disabled plugins that I thought would interfere like unspin, folder caching, and RAM-disk for docker logs

  6. changed the cron time from 5 minutes to 10 minutes to 1 hour to 1 day and none of them fixed it

I have tried running it manually and no matter how many times I run it manually I can't get the notification to show up. It is also extremely inconsistent and random when the notification appears. I have attached the diagnostics zip file

What else do you need to get this figured out? Do you need more logs or some other diagnostics?

Hi, I recently noticed that my mover plugin wasn't working and only works by moving everything instead of using filters I configured to leave some things in place up until a certain point of usage. It goes back to prior to the 8/15 update. I even downgraded and tried it, let me reupdate, but it acts like it has files to move based on filters, but it doesn't actually move anything. It doesn't make any sense to me and nothing has changed related to any of this. I know there is a diagnostic thing I could post, but it has too much info to post in a public forum. Is there anything specific to show that would be helpful in figuring this out? Thanks.

Do you mean privios version same behavior?

You can send me by pm the diagnostic (this not contain any sensitive data) :)

Or you can check settings and mover logs debug logs...

What exactly notify do you have i cant see it in diagnostic

Hello. For some reason a few weeks ago I started getting multiple notifications a day as warnings that say "Mover Tuning Notification mover: already running" and it seems like its triggering exactly at my cron schedule for mover tuning. However, it is only happening when mover tuning is not moving anything due to the thresholds not being reached. I have tried multiple things to fix this like changing these settings.

I get the same notification every day at my schedule for mover tuning. It started on 13th Aug, never happened before. Build-in mover schedule is disabled, only mover tuning is active.

All I can remember is that I used the Move Now Button in a share before to trigger the build-in unraid mover and I checked that it's not running anymore. Other than that, I didn't touch anything.

Syslog:
Aug 17 05:00:01 XYZ move: 3038691 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ca.mover.tuning/age_mover start
