• Mover is not transferring new files to a new installed disk in the array

    Hello,

     

    I'm using the latest unRAID next version (6.10.0 rc-2), and after adding a new disk to the array, new files are not being written into that disk even if I have configured the 'Most-free' option as the allocation method. It was configured when I first built the array.

     

    My current setting consists of a total of 4 disks for the array, the rest of the disks of my server are for pools.

    The Disk 2, 3 and 4 (last added) are used by the multimedia server, Disk 1 is for other files.

     

    I originally configured each of the multimedia server shares as 'Most-free', as I said before, and as I understand, unRAID will save new files to the most-free disk. So, in that case, I think that mover should be moving ALL new files to the Disk 4 ONLY, as it's the one with the biggest capacity right now. Is that correct? Or I'm not taking into account the 'Split level' setting also? Or maybe something else?

     

    I have attached some pics to help you with what I wrote here.

     

    Thank you.

    Split level has precedence over allocation method, so if split level says a file belongs with other files on another disk, that is where they will go.

     

    Also, most free is the least efficient allocation method.

    Have you tried to stop and start the Array again after the change ?

    I know there is an issue with some settings being applied live on the RC.

    It finally solved the issue, I think. Now I'm transferring new files and all of them are being sending to the Disk 4.

     

    Thank you!
