It would be an immense help to small brainer like me if there’s a guide for it. I am still running 6.11.5 because I am scared to jump on 6.12 as there are not many guides available. Most of the guides from IBRACORP and SPACEINVADERONE are getting old.
UNRAID
Discussion about all things UNRAID.
Thanks for posting, i will be honest here, I haven't enabled mover in a VERY long time, I rely on the post processing of each app to move the media to the correct place on the array after download is complete, and for me this works well enough for me not to have to use mover, am I the odd one out here?.
I have my hard disks set to spin down pretty aggressively, so I have a more complex caching setup to keep things responsive.
May I ask why you have your spin down so aggressive?
Originally my server lived in my bedroom so I had them spinning down for noise and heat reasons, and I just never changed it.
Now it's in a rack in the garage but I still spin down for power reasons. 90% of daily use needs is both read and written to ssds.
Ahh right I see, so you are using mover as a means of reducing power usage, that's interesting, power is super expensive where i live so that is a factor for me, i have spin down set reasonably tightly, but not insane, i think its 1 hour idle at the mo.
Originally yes, lower power, heat and noise, these days I don't worry too much about the heat and noise as the servers are in the garage, but my power bill is more than double the average 5 person house... and I'm only 3 people.
I prefer to have my daily reads and writes hit the ssds though, with the hdd array being more of a "warm" archive, once 6.13 rolls around and allows for more flexible pool/cache assignments I will add a 4 disk zfs array as a bulk cache that will mean I only need 4 disks spinning 24/7 and the main array could be spun down for weeks on end.
I set up my server years ago with separate shares for downloads, and multiple separate media shares for different types of content (didnt really know thst one share would allow for hardlinks and the flexibility that allowed for), so I like having control over how each of those is cached and what sort of retention is used on each one.
Thanks for this. I hadn't looked at mover tuning in ages. It would be good to delay the moving of downloads.
