Can0n Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 May I suggest two things for Mover? I would like to see an eta to completion added just like Parity Check and also a stop button that finishes the current file then ends. I have a decently fast server running a little slow with mover and occasionally have some issues with it and need to reboot it but I do not want to do it with Mover running 300GB takes days to move with Sata2 backplane on Sata3 SAS card with Sata3 2.5" drives. 2 Quote Link to comment
-Daedalus Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Can I ask what controller you're using? 300GB shouldn't take days. It should be done in an hour, and that's at only about 60MB/s, which you should be able to far exceed. Also, if you have a bunch of other stuff writing directly to the array at the same time, this can cause disk thrashing on the parity drive(s), which can slow things down quite a bit.
