But, why is it then using a share that is not included? How can I stop it from doing that? Because that might then be the underlying problem. Isn't it enough to only include the drives you want to use? Do you also have to exclude the rest?

Ok, I made a new test. This time I made a share for myself, ad dedicated a single 500Gb drive to this share. As the images show, Windows & UnRaid doesn't seem to agree upon how much space I actually have? (- My UI in Windows is Danish, sorry) What am I missing here?

I now see that after my post was originally created, I ended up including all disks due to needing the space for an initial transfer. When the initial transfer is completed, I will play around with this again and post a screenshot

I just looked closer at this, and the network drive IS showing wrong information. Even when taking into consideration that it is showing sizes in TiB. The total available space of the array is 8Tb. But one of the disks (disk 1) is excluded, that is 2Tb of space not available to the "Movies" share. How can it be that my network drive thinks it has these 2Tb af space available anyway? Is there something I havn't set up correctly?

I tried that, but I always thought that WIndows was shoing TB and not TiB? If Windows is displaying TiB that might explain a lot for me

Thanks for clearing up that part What is the difference between TiB & TB?

I don't understand how this is possible. Is there something I have set up wrongly? My share says there's 6.5Tb space. My network drive thinks it has 9.09Tb of space. Even looking at all of my drives I have a hard time seeing how I could hit 9Tb of space. I have 8Tb of space, 2Tb on a parity disc, and then I have 2Tb of cache. The total available space of the array is 8Tb. But one of the disks (disk 1) is excluded, that is 2Tb of space not available to the "Movies" share. How can it be that my network drive thinks it has these 2Tb af space available anyway? Is there something I havn't set up correctly? Is Unraid doing some calculations I'm not aware of? Or why does my network share think it has so much space?

It might be the easiest, and the fastest way to do it. But it wont take long before 20 people start generating quite a lot of shares. Do you know if there is any other way of doing it? With my existing Netgear ReadyNas I am able to tweak security settings quite a lot more, and I'm trying to find a way to make it as much alike as before

I planning on creating a backup share where everyone on my network can place their backup files. I want everyone to be able to put files in the folders that they owe, but I don't want people to be able to edit others data. I would love to just have one share as I from an administrators view then just could navigate to backup\ and then have everyones data here. Example Backup --- Dan --- Mark --- Derpette If I was able to completely hide folders that wasn't yours, that would be perfect. But being able to at least lock them down so Dan cannot edit Marks files would be ok. I'm fine with having to manually create the folders and settings up the rights for each folder if that is what is needed. Is this in any way possible? Or will I have to create a usershare for each user, and then manage the acces that way?

Awesome!

Is it just me, or are none of the links in the first post working anymore?

I propably don't know how to search for it here at the forum, but, is it in any way possible to set the cache to continuously write to the array? If continuously is not possible, how do I then modify how often data is written, and at what times it is done? Then I would be able to set it to run hourly. I like the idea of being able to just fast pour a lot of data onto the NAS (for me, 2TB as that is the size of my cache drive) and then let unRaid move the files to the array. Writing to the array is a lot slower (for me, 4 times slower) than writing to the cache. And when I want to move files to my NAS, its most often just to move the files away from my computer, and then not having to think about them anymore. Once concern here is that if I pour 2Tb of data on the cache, that data will first be safe when it is written to the array. If the write is only done at 3:40 and I write to the array with with 25Mb/s, all of the data is on the array 22hours later. Being able to start moving files from the cache earlier will speed this up quite a bit.
