[Solved] Mover doesn't seem to be moving files

[FreeMan]

I got a notification from FCP that I have files on my cache drive that haven't been migrated to the array. I have the mover scheduled to run because I got this warning. Initially it wasn't scheduled because I hadn't set up any of my shares to use the cache. I turned it on briefly for one share, then turned it off. I have logging enabled on the mover. When I run the mover, nothing is logged and nothing seems to get moved.

 

Here's the share showing files on the cache:

 

Here's the shot showing the mover set to log:

 

and here's the log showing the mover run:

I took the screen shot of the share after the two mover runs.

 

Any suggestions on what to do to get these files to actually migrate off the cache drive?

That share is set to cache-no. Mover will only move cache-yes shares from cache to array, and cache-prefer shares from array to cache. Shares set to cache-no and cache-only are ignored by mover.

So I need to set it to cache-yes, run the mover, then set it to cache-no to prevent new files from being written.

 

Got it.  Mover is running now.

 

Thanks!
