I had just changed out the memory on my server and brought it back up. Everything seemed fine so I figured I would start the mover app to move things off my cache drive. I clicked the button then about 1 minute later my server rebooted. It came back up and I stopped the parity check. Then shut it down gracefully, replaced with old ram and brought it back up. It was up for about 10 minutes and everything seemed fine. I checked and the file on my cache drive was still there. I clicked mover again to start the move but this time nothing happens. I still see the file on the cache drive.

 

I even tried by clicking Move on the Main screen this time instead of under scheduler. Still nothing.

Mover can't move open files, and it won't move duplicates.

 

Go to Settings - Scheduler - Mover Settings and turn on Mover Logging and it may log why it isn't moving.

I tried what you said and this is what the log shows (below). I went to the array on Disk 8 and see the file, however it is only 218MB, not 26GB like the actual file on the cache drive. What is the best way to fix this?

Mover will not overwrite existing files on the array drives.    If the ‘good’ copy is on the cache drive then delete the copy on disk8 and mover should then move it over as expected.

Thanks... I used Krusader and deleted the file and then did mover and it moved the file. 

 

One question. When I deleted the file in Krusader it said it was moving the file to trash. Is there a trash folder? If so, where is it and should I delete the file from trash?
