jj_uk Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Is there any way in the GUI to see if mover is running, and if it is, roughly how long is left, as a rough time or as a percentage? I've set all my shares to exclude 2 disks because i'm replacing them soon and kicked off mover. I'd like to see when mover has finished moving the files from those disks over to other drives.

trurl Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Mover isn't going to move those files just because you excluded them from your user shares if that's what you mean. Mover only moves cache-yes from cache to array and cache-prefer from array to cache. It never moves files between disks in the array. And in general, user share settings only apply to new writes. Nothing is ever done automatically to existing files, except as I described in the previous sentence about moving between cache and array. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Also, why do you want to empty a disk you are going to replace? The usual method of disk replacement is to just let unRAID rebuild the disk with all its contents. Quote Link to comment
jj_uk Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Ahh ok, I assumed that mover balanced data between disks. I'll just replace them one at a time and allow the server to rebuild them. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Don't forget to remove the Exclude on you User Shares. Quote Link to comment
