Hi,
unraid newbie here so please forgive any faux pas. My Google fu has failed me on this occasion and if I am the only one having this problem then the likelihood is I have done something uniquely wrong.
I have a 5 disk setup + cache drive. 1 8tb parity, 1 8tb data + 4 4tb data. The two 8tb disks were new and used to create the array (1 parity + 1 data). Shares from my old freenas server where then mounted and the data copied over to a ‘transfer’ share on the unraid server. I then created a temporary Plex docker to test the mainly media files that had been copied over. So far I am happy.
Next I add the disks from the old freenas server and the cache drive. Great, so now I have a 91% 8tb data disk and 16tb of empty disk.
I want to distribute my media files because of the possible number of Plex connections, so my idea was to create shares for movies, tv and music including all disks, most free, split level 2. When I created the shares I noted that the folders for the shares where only created on two of the disks. Puzzled I attempted to copy all tv shows (using Krusader) from transfer share into the new tv share and notes that data was copied only to the 2 disks with the folders created and very unevenly towards the first disk.
I am running the trial, is there a limitation? I am passed the point of no return anyway so I am going to purchase if a can resolve this.
Thanks in advance
