April 22, 20197 yr I'm seeing high IOWAIT anytime the mover process is going. What would be the cause of this? Edited April 22, 20197 yr by IamSpartacus
April 22, 20197 yr Your drives are spinning up and you Processor is ramped up from Idle would be my guess.

And the IOWAIT stays at that level for the entire duration of the mover process. Edited April 22, 20197 yr by IamSpartacus

April 22, 20197 yr Most likely, but others probably don't monitor their system when mover runs. I don't use mover at all so I can't say how it behaves on mine.

I'm only monitoring my system during the Mover because when the Mover is running it causes Plex direct plays to stutter and sometimes become unresponsive.

Oh, then yes some others have experienced that issue and have reported it in the forums. LimeTech even responded to it as well. Real Shame the forum search is substandard. I would link you to those posts if I could find them.

Mine does this too. That is why I have my Mover moving 2x a month so when it moves data it moves A LOT. Normally I have my mover running at 6AM so I don't notice it and then Plex Scans every day at 6:30AM to 8:00AM. Yes I know it doesn't make a difference where the files are SSD vs HDD, but that is when I have my scans setup because I don't like my drives on and off all day. I literally try and schedule everything on my machine when I'm not using it simply because I can't be bothered when I am using it. 😀 Same reason I use the Parity Tuner Plugin so it scans my Parity as well before 6:00 so I can't be bothered.

Yea right now I just have my mover moving once a day at 5am. It's tough because I have users on the West Coast and then my wife is up early with our 3 month old so I have a very small window now haha.

I need all the IO my NVMe cache drive can provide in order to DL at 105MB/s while also extracting a 75GB file (4k). I am using Turbo write. I thought maybe that was my issue because all the drives were being read at 240MB/s during the mover so I thought there just wasn't enough disk IO left for Plex direct plays but I then tested with Turbo write off and I get the same issue.
