Add Mover Trigger

[leitenky]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to be able to manually trigger the Mover in unraid to run from home assistant, and see it's status (running or not)

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to push a button on my home assistant dashboard that would run the Mover task in unraid (like shutdown or reboot). I would also find it helpful to see if mover is running currently or not

I dont fully understand how the mover command in unraid works.

From Unraid Console when you execute mover you get this

mover
Usage: /usr/local/sbin/mover start [-e] <disk_name>
/usr/local/sbin/mover stop|status
<disk_name> must match pattern 'disk[0-9]*'

If I execute mover start then I dont know if it moves data from cache to array or array to cache.

So I'm not sure how to implement this logic into a button.

Oh sorry, not sure I'm that knowledgeable in unraid. Currently to trigger it I log in to the interface. Go to the main tab. Scroll down to array operation and select move. That's also where it tells you if it's running or not

Under the hood that button triggers the mover command but not sure how it works.

You can also look into creating a bash script which triggers the mover. Configure it via plugin scripts and the integration will automatically pick it up and create a button for you.

You could have a script that moves data from cache to array and another one that moves array to cache. Depending on your setup and needs.
