April 2, 201115 yr I'm kind of dense and still can't figure out what share level I should be using for my files. I have Users Shares with the following names: Movies - (Disk 1-10) - Split Level 2 TV - (Disk 10-12) - Split Level 2 Music - (Disk 14 - Single Disk, no problems) Backup - (Disk 13-14) My UnRaid Server is "MEDIA" \\MEDIA\Movies\HD\MovieName\MovieFile.MKV \\MEDIA\Movies\HD\MovieName\MovieFile.JPG \\MEDIA\Movies\HD\MovieName\MovieFile.NFO \\MEDIA\Movies\DVD\MovieName\VIDEO_TS\<All the VOB, .TS, etc> \\MEDIA\Movies\DVD\MovieName\MovieName.JPG \\MEDIA\Movies\DVD\MovieName\MovieName.NFO For the HD Folder, I'd like there to be only 1 "MovieName" folder and all of the files for that movie to be in that folder, but I don't want that same "MovieName" folder to be on every disk... Right now \\MEDIA\Movies\HD is on all 10 disks but in some cases I'm getting the "MovieName" folder also on separate disks and some of the files might be in one and some might be in the other I also have a lot of dupes, but that might be due to my recent data reorg and am cleaning up separately. Is Split Level 2 correct for this share, and will that negatively affect how the DVD folder (which is under the same "MOVIE" share) is affected since those MovieName folders have the VIDEO_TS folder under them? The TV share is also probably not right, but only split across 3 disks so manageable.
April 2, 201115 yr Think of the user-share split level as a single-disk anchor for the directory in question. Since user shares are level 1, in your examples, both HD and DVD would be level 2. Using level 2 would attempt to keep the HD and DVD directories on single disks, so I think you want 3. That would preserve every MovieName hierarchy no matter how deep.

April 2, 201115 yr The split level is the deepest level that you want to split. Nothing below it will split. 2 should be correct. If the dups could be do to the reoorg finish the reorg and then see how it works.

If the dups could be do to the reoorg finish the reorg and then see how it works. Most of the dupe movie files had non-recent modify dates so the dupes have been around for a long time... I had probably 40-50 x 8-10 GB movie files that were duplicated and hundreds of JPG/NFO files inside the Movie name folders...there are a large number of duplicate folder names on multiple disks, still currently, some that are empty, some with just the JPG/NFO file in them, but no MKV... as far as I know I've always had Split level of 2, and I don't think anything I was doing with my Disk Reorg could have contributed to all of this...it involved at least 6 of the 10 disks on my User Share.
April 3, 201115 yr 2 is the proper split level. You were possibly using disk shares at one time? Peter
