snowboardjoe Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I'm about 50% of my way through migrating 4 disks from ReiserFS to XFS. So far, no issues until something I noticed this morning after formatting disk 2 last night and brining the array back online. Everything is up and running, but noticed that /mnt/disk2 has no subdirectories of the shares present. I was tinkering with the shares to exclude disks I was working on at the time and stop unraid from adding more files to those locations. As I reformat the disks, I go back and enable them again to use all disks and disable for the next. Now I feel like something is confused with the configuration. How do I enable disk2 to start accepting new data again? I did not have this issue with /mnt/disk1. I'm running 6.9.2 and have paused my migration work for now (what I had planned to do anyway for a few days). laffy-diagnostics-20220210-1216.zip Quote Link to comment
snowboardjoe Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 I think I just figured out what was going on based on documentation. I'm using the High-water method. Disk 1 is only utilized 21%. Disks 3, 4, 5 are all utilized over 80%. So, as I understand it, unRAID will keep filling disk 1 to the 50% mark before it starts to fill any other disk. I assume it will just create those share directories on disk 2 when it eventually gets to that point. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Assuming that all drives are the exact same size, then it will fill disk 1 to 50%, then look at all the disks, see that they are all over 50%, so it will begin to fill to 75% (which means that disk 1 gets the files again) after which it will begin to fill the disks to 87.5% which means that disk 1 will get the files again, and then finally will go to the other disks since they are all over the 75% highwater mark.
