Thanks jbrodriquez! Is there a tool for that then and maybe a feature request for Unraid? It doesn't seem far fetched nor substantially difficult to add a "Balance" option as good as this software works and the demand for it has been pretty ongoing from what i have seen in the forums. I would even go as far as to rename the "Scatter" option to "Evacuate" to better illustrate it's function.

Hey community! I have a quick question and im sure its user error. First what im working with is 8x8tb drives that i have moved from a windows system. All my drives are in and my share "Data" is set to most free space and split the contents however. What i am running into is even though i have selected 1 drive to scatter and all the others for it to distribute the files to, it only mass moves the files to another drive. Am i missing something? Below is a few snips to illustrate. Btw my use case is yes it benefits me to have my files split this way. All of it is media and most over 10-15GB files. Like it is now it saturates a single drives I/O and is creating buffering as there are over 25 streams at a time hitting these drives. Having the data split across the array helps immensely with I/O. As you can see after the "Plan" it just moves all the data to Disk5 instead of actually scattering. Any info would be awesome and thanks! Before Plan After Plan
