It's also possible that a share got changed from yes to no without mover running.  Leaving them orphaned.  

 

I don't think its best to be built into the plug-in.  Probably better to use something like Midnight Commander.  

 

However, I can still be convinced to look into it for a good reason.

Also this too, that can happen.

Apologies if this has already been covered in this thread but I was struggling with what to search for.

 

Is there a way to prioritize a share so that Mover acts on it more frequently than the default Mover settings? My situation is that I have the settings to generally not have the Mover run unless the cache is running low on disk space. But, I have Nextcloud uploads going to cache and I'd like those to get moved to the array a bit more often than all the other stuff on the cache.

Not from my plug-in.

 

If you have a lot of experience you can create your own command line and pipe the output to the mover binary.  

 

Something like below in a cron entry. (User scripts plug-in).  However... you won't have any of the supporting code around it.  i.e. to see if mover is currently running.

 

find "/mnt/cache/<YOURSHAREHERE>" -depth | /usr/local/sbin/move -d 1

Ah, no worries. Probably a bit outside my technical abilities at this stage. Thanks!

Hmm, will we need an updated plugin for 6.10? It appears to not apply the tuning settings and just uses Unraid's default mover.

Possibly.  I don't have 6.10 yet.  I'm still on 6.9.1

I'll update my dev box this week.

 

What might have happened is that 6.10 provided a new mover script.  Overwritting the plug-in's script which just points to the plug-in's new script or the original script.  You might be able to get the plug-in working by removing then re-installing the plug-in.

Ahh, I see! No luck on removing / re-adding. Didn't try a reboot between those two, however.

Unraid update would have required a reboot. In fact, the new version isn't loaded until the next boot.

 

After the new version loads, the built-in mover script is in RAM just like the rest of the OS.

 

Then any installed plugins are applied.

not sure if this helps but, I verified /usr/local/sbin/mover is the plugin and mover.old is the original. calling mover by itself doesn't work as intended but running /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ca.mover.tuning/mover.php with the parameters I want does. not sure where the disconnect is happening.

Is it the button in the scheduler page that isn't working or when it is run at it's scheduled time?

 

(Sorry, will play around with tonight/tomorrow)

Forgot.. (I have to many options in the plugin....)

 

But do you have this set? (Second to last question)

Move Now button follows plug-in filters: Yes

Oh my goodness! My apologies. That was it. Is that a new-ish option?

Newer...

Previously I had a separate button, but Squid gave me direction in how to add this back in so I added it as an option.

Understood, thank you for the help! I was running an older plugin version then updated it when I went to 6.10

Ok Guys/Girls

i want to keep my ssd as empty as i can 

 

can you help with settings to make it move everything hourly?

and keep my ssd drive 25% full?

Try setting this to 0 and not 1.

Move files that are greater than this many days old:

 

You can also run in test mode and review the files it will be selecting.  (see the log file)

  so it gets to 60gig free space and stops moving

Enable logging, then check what files are left.
 

Do you have other shares using this cache drive?  (i.e. appdata)

And you probably want to set this to no.

 

Move files off cache based on age?

Mover Logging : Enabled. (Up top, schedule area)

 

You can see in your last pic the "mover started.      Mover Finished". at the bottom.  That will expand to a lot more.

 

You will need to browse the individual cache drive or use the console and issue ls commands on the cache.

It's because I left ECHO statements in the script.  These help me catch bugs for the new release.

 

I will release a new version in the next few days that will comment out the echo statements.

 

Hello! Has this happened again? I'm getting emails when the daily cron job runs that say "Mover not Needed." I don't get one every day, I guess only when the mover is not needed.😃

 

Thanks

 

Hey there! I have this plugin installed and set to run the mover at 60% cache utilization with a run frequency of every 3 hours. However, my cache keeps getting over 60% and failing to move. If I run the mover manually it works fine so I changed the 'move now button follows plugin fliters’ option to ‘yes’ and ran it again. Here’s my output:
