⚠️ Important Reminders
Before Running Migration:
- BACKUP YOUR DATA - Always have backups before disk operations
- Review the plan JSON - Check what files will be moved where
- Run dry-run first - Test the migration plan before executing
- Check disk space - Ensure destination disks have enough space
- Close applications - No applications should be using the files
After Migration:
- Verify files with
reportcommand - Manually check some files opened correctly
- Only delete originals when 100% confident
- Keep the plan JSON for reference

Disk Reorganizer - Setup Instructions
Overview
The Disk Reorganizer has been upgraded to use PostgreSQL database instead of SQLite, with dynamic progress display during long operations.
Changes Made
1. Database Migration: SQLite → PostgreSQL
- Database Server:
tour@192.168.1.159:5432 - Database Name:
disk_reorganizer_db - User:
disk_reorg_user - Password:
heel-goed-wachtwoord
2. New Features
- ✅ Dynamic in-screen progress display during indexing
- ✅ Real-time file counter, size, and speed metrics
- ✅ ETA (Estimated Time to Arrival) during migration
- ✅ In-place updating (no log spam)
3. Files Created/Modified
New Files:
setup_database.sql- PostgreSQL schema and user setupsetup_database.sh- Automated setup scriptrequirements.txt- Python dependenciesSETUP_INSTRUCTIONS.md- This file
Modified Files:
src/main.py- Complete PostgreSQL integration + dynamic logging
Installation Steps
Step 1: Install Python Dependencies
# Install PostgreSQL Python driver
pip install -r requirements.txt
Step 2: Setup PostgreSQL Database
On Linux/Mac:
# Make the script executable
chmod +x setup_database.sh
# Run the setup script
./setup_database.sh
On Windows (using Git Bash or WSL):
bash setup_database.sh
Manual Setup (if script doesn't work):
# Connect to PostgreSQL
psql -h 192.168.1.159 -p 5432 -U auction -d postgres
# Then paste the contents of setup_database.sql
\i setup_database.sql
Step 3: Verify Database Connection
# Test connection with the new user
psql -h 192.168.1.159 -p 5432 -U disk_reorg_user -d disk_reorganizer_db
You should be able to connect. List tables with \dt - you should see files and operations.
Usage Guide
1. Index Disks
Index all files on disks you want to reorganize:
python src/main.py index "D:\\" disk_d
python src/main.py index "E:\\" disk_e
python src/main.py index "F:\\" disk_f
Dynamic Output Example:
Indexing: 12,543 files | 45.3 GB | 823 files/s | D:\Documents\Photos\...vacation.jpg
2. Create Migration Plan
Plan to free up a disk (e.g., disk_d) by moving files to other disks:
python src/main.py plan disk_d disk_e disk_f
This creates a JSON file: migration_plan_disk_d_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.json
Review the plan carefully before executing!
3. Execute Migration (DRY RUN first!)
ALWAYS test with dry-run first:
python src/main.py execute migration_plan_disk_d_20231209_143052.json --dry-run
Dynamic Output Example:
[1523/5000] 1520 OK, 3 ERR | 12.3 files/s | ETA: 283s | Documents\project\file.txt
If dry-run looks good, execute for real:
python src/main.py execute migration_plan_disk_d_20231209_143052.json
⚠️ WARNING: This will copy files. Original files are NOT deleted automatically (safety feature).
4. Generate Report
Check status of files and operations:
python src/main.py report
Output Example:
=== FILE MIGRATION REPORT ===
indexed : 5000 files, 150.2GB
moved : 1500 files, 45.6GB
=== OPERATIONS REPORT ===
move EXECUTED : 1500 operations
move PENDING : 3500 operations
Database Schema
Files Table
CREATE TABLE files (
path TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
size BIGINT NOT NULL,
modified_time DOUBLE PRECISION NOT NULL,
disk TEXT NOT NULL,
checksum TEXT,
status TEXT DEFAULT 'indexed',
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
Operations Table
CREATE TABLE operations (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
source_path TEXT NOT NULL,
dest_path TEXT NOT NULL,
operation_type TEXT NOT NULL,
executed INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
verified INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
error TEXT,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
executed_at TIMESTAMP
);
Safety Features
- Dry-run mode: Test migrations without moving files
- Verification: Files are verified after copying (size check)
- No automatic deletion: Original files remain until you manually delete them
- Database tracking: All operations logged in PostgreSQL
- Error handling: Errors are logged but don't stop the entire migration
- Atomic commits: Database commits every 10 operations
Troubleshooting
Connection refused
psql: error: connection to server at "192.168.1.159", port 5432 failed
Solution: Check that PostgreSQL is running and accepts remote connections:
- Edit
postgresql.conf:listen_addresses = '*' - Edit
pg_hba.conf: Add linehost all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5 - Restart PostgreSQL:
sudo systemctl restart postgresql
Password authentication failed
psql: error: password authentication failed for user "disk_reorg_user"
Solution: Run the setup script again or manually create the user:
CREATE USER disk_reorg_user WITH PASSWORD 'heel-goed-wachtwoord';
Tables don't exist
Database tables not found! Please run setup_database.sh first.
Solution: Run the setup script: ./setup_database.sh
Permission denied
ERROR: permission denied for table files
Solution: Grant privileges:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON TABLE files TO disk_reorg_user;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON TABLE operations TO disk_reorg_user;
GRANT USAGE, SELECT ON SEQUENCE operations_id_seq TO disk_reorg_user;
Advanced Configuration
Custom Database Connection
Edit src/main.py or pass custom config:
custom_config = {
'host': 'your-host',
'port': 5432,
'database': 'your_db',
'user': 'your_user',
'password': 'your_password'
}
tool = DiskReorganizer(db_config=custom_config)
Next Steps
- ✅ Run
setup_database.shto create the database - ✅ Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt - ✅ Index your disks
- ✅ Create a migration plan
- ✅ Review the plan JSON carefully!
- ✅ Run dry-run first
- ✅ Execute the migration
- ✅ Verify with
reportcommand - ✅ Manually delete original files when confident
Important Notes
⚠️ BACKUP YOUR DATA before running any disk reorganization!
⚠️ The original code has been preserved - only modified to use PostgreSQL.
⚠️ No user data or code has been removed - all functionality remains intact.
✅ Dynamic logging shows real-time progress during scanning and migration.
✅ All operations are tracked in the database for audit trail.
Troubleshooting Guide - Disk Reorganizer
Setup Script Issues
Problem: Window closes immediately after running setup_database.bat
Fixed! The updated scripts now:
- ✅ Keep the window open with
pause >nulat the end - ✅ Show clear SUCCESS or FAILED messages
- ✅ Display next steps after successful setup
- ✅ Provide troubleshooting hints for failures
Problem: "psql command not found"
Cause: PostgreSQL client tools are not installed or not in PATH.
Solution for Windows:
-
Install PostgreSQL client:
winget install PostgreSQL.PostgreSQLOr download from: https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/
-
Add to PATH:
- Go to: System Properties → Environment Variables
- Edit PATH variable
- Add:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\16\bin(adjust version number) - Restart terminal/cmd
-
Verify installation:
psql --version
Solution for Linux:
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgresql-client
# RedHat/CentOS
sudo yum install postgresql
# Verify
psql --version
Solution for macOS:
brew install postgresql
psql --version
Database Connection Issues
Problem: "Connection refused"
Full error:
psql: error: connection to server at "192.168.1.159", port 5432 failed: Connection refused
Possible causes and solutions:
-
PostgreSQL server is not running
# Check status (on server) sudo systemctl status postgresql # Start if stopped sudo systemctl start postgresql -
Server is not listening on network interface
Edit
/etc/postgresql/*/main/postgresql.conf:listen_addresses = '*'Restart PostgreSQL:
sudo systemctl restart postgresql -
Firewall blocking port 5432
# On server - allow PostgreSQL port sudo ufw allow 5432/tcp # Or on Windows netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="PostgreSQL" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=5432 -
Wrong IP address
Verify server IP:
ping 192.168.1.159On the PostgreSQL server:
hostname -I ip addr show
Problem: "Authentication failed"
Full error:
psql: error: password authentication failed for user "auction"
Solutions:
-
Wrong password
- Verify the password in the script matches the actual password
- Edit
setup_database.batorsetup_database.shwith correct password
-
User doesn't exist
-- On PostgreSQL server sudo -u postgres psql \du -- List all users -- Create user if missing CREATE USER auction WITH SUPERUSER PASSWORD 'heel-goed-wachtwoord'; -
pg_hba.conf not allowing remote connections
Edit
/etc/postgresql/*/main/pg_hba.conf:# Add this line (allows password authentication from any IP) host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5Restart PostgreSQL:
sudo systemctl restart postgresql
Problem: "Database already exists"
Full error:
ERROR: database "disk_reorganizer_db" already exists
This is usually OK! The database may have been created in a previous run.
Verify it's working:
psql -h 192.168.1.159 -p 5432 -U disk_reorg_user -d disk_reorganizer_db -c "\dt"
You should see the files and operations tables.
If you need to start fresh:
-- Connect as superuser
psql -h 192.168.1.159 -p 5432 -U auction -d postgres
-- Drop and recreate
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS disk_reorganizer_db;
DROP USER IF EXISTS disk_reorg_user;
-- Then run setup_database.bat again
Application Issues
Problem: "Database tables not found! Please run setup_database.sh first"
Cause: Application can connect but tables don't exist.
Solution:
-
Run the setup script again:
setup_database.bat # Windows ./setup_database.sh # Linux/Mac -
Or manually verify tables exist:
psql -h 192.168.1.159 -p 5432 -U disk_reorg_user -d disk_reorganizer_db \dtShould show:
public | files | table | disk_reorg_user public | operations | table | disk_reorg_user
Problem: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psycopg2'"
Cause: Python PostgreSQL driver not installed.
Solution:
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Or directly
pip install psycopg2-binary
If installation fails (compilation errors):
# Use binary version (no compilation needed)
pip install psycopg2-binary --force-reinstall
# Or on Linux, install system dependencies first
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev python3-dev
pip install psycopg2
Problem: Permission denied during file operations
Error:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'D:\\file.txt'
Solutions:
- Run as Administrator (Windows) or with sudo (Linux)
- Close any applications using the files
- Check file/folder permissions
- Use dry-run mode first to identify problematic files:
python src/main.py execute plan.json --dry-run
Problem: "SSL connection failed" or SSL errors
Error:
psycopg2.OperationalError: SSL connection failed
Solution 1: Disable SSL requirement (if on trusted network)
Edit src/main.py connection config:
db_config = {
'host': '192.168.1.159',
'port': 5432,
'database': 'disk_reorganizer_db',
'user': 'disk_reorg_user',
'password': 'heel-goed-wachtwoord',
'sslmode': 'disable' # Add this line
}
Solution 2: Enable SSL on PostgreSQL server (more secure)
Edit postgresql.conf:
ssl = on
ssl_cert_file = '/path/to/server.crt'
ssl_key_file = '/path/to/server.key'
Performance Issues
Problem: Indexing is very slow
Solutions:
-
Check network speed (if database is remote)
# Test network speed iperf3 -c 192.168.1.159 -
Increase commit batch size
Edit
src/main.pyline ~155:# Change from 1000 to 5000 if files_count % 5000 == 0: conn.commit() -
Skip system directories
Already implemented! Script skips
$,System Volume Information,Recovery -
Use local PostgreSQL (fastest)
Install PostgreSQL locally and use:
'host': 'localhost'
Problem: Migration is taking too long
Normal behavior: Large file migrations take time (copying files).
Tips:
- Use
--dry-runfirst to verify (no actual copying) - Run during off-hours
- Monitor with the dynamic progress display:
[1523/5000] 1520 OK, 3 ERR | 12.3 files/s | ETA: 283s - Check disk I/O isn't bottlenecked:

Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Not running setup script first
- Always run
setup_database.batorsetup_database.shbefore using the app
❌ Using wrong database credentials
- Double-check host, port, username, password in scripts
❌ Skipping dry-run
- Always test with
--dry-runbefore real migration
❌ Not checking disk space
- Verify destination disks have enough space before migration
❌ Deleting originals too quickly
- Keep original files until thoroughly verified
❌ Running without backups
- Always have backups before disk reorganization
