April 30, 20206 yr Hi all, Lately I've noticed that my cache is getting to almost 90% capacity almost continuously. This morning it was up to 99% and the system was almost unresponsive. Since last night the mover was running but to no effect. So I stopped both docker and vms, just to make sure that nothing was filling up the cache (qBitTorrent, NZBGet etc) while the mover was trying to empty it. For the past couple of hours the cache went from 32.1 GB free space to to 34.3 GB. Mover is running as you can see. Why is the mover so slow ? Is thing natural ? What can I do to improve the situation ? I want to mention here that I also tried the CA Turbo Write plugin, with no effect. Also my downloads folder on the array was setup to use cache, I've modified to not use cache now, but I am afraid this will cause file integrity issues with temporary files of qBitTorrent and NZBGet. Should I wait for the mover to clear the cache before I restart docker in order to avaid this kind of problems? Thanking you in advance for your help ....

April 30, 20206 yr Community Expert If you have set your downloads share to cache-no, then it will not be moved from cache. Mover only moves cache-yes from cache to array, and cache-prefer from array to cache. Mover ignores cache-no and cache-only shares.
April 30, 20206 yr Author Ok, I reverted the downloads folder but to using cache. Thanks for the clarification. But the question remains! Why isn't the mover emptying the cache ?

Why isn't the mover emptying the cache ? Mover will not move any files that are open, so if you have any torrents that are downloading or seeding they will be stuck on the cache. Also many people have internet links that are fast enough to let them download faster than mover can move files to the array. If you want to get a better idea of exactly what mover is doing you can enable mover logging.
April 30, 20206 yr Author That's why I stopped docker, so none of these files are open or in use. And my internet speed is quite slow, around 20mbps. I've just rebooted the server and restarted mover but nothing is happening !!!!

Be aware, however, that the mover logging is not anonymised unless there was a recent change made.
April 30, 20206 yr Community Expert You can see how much each user share is using on each disk by using Compute... for the share, or the Compute All button, on the User Shares page. Your diagnostics showed more than one share with files on cache that were set to cache-no.
