May 3, 201115 yr The mover script is filling up Disk1 in my array and ignoring the rules I have set for the shares. To test I've set all my shares to: Most-free Disk1 has only a few GB free, Disk2 has 60GB free and Disk3 has 1.6TB free. Still Disk1 is always filled by the mover script. I haven't got a clue where to start looking to try figure out what's going wrong. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Since you've not told us exactly the allocation method you've defined, and the "min-free" setting you've configured, and how you've set your split levels, we have no way to help. It could be as simple as the directory only existing on disk1 and you've not set the split level to allow it to be created on a different disk.
May 3, 201115 yr Sounds like the split level is set too low. You have to share all the share settings and your directory structure if you want a better anwser.
May 3, 201115 yr Author Sorry, I've just been reading the forums and was just coming back to add the split levels. So I have 3 data disks. I've created the shares: Movies, TV, Music and set the split level to 1, allocation method to most-free and min free space to 100000000. All Disks have the folders: Movies/TV/Music on them. EDIT: Even setting the shares to exclude disk1 the mover still fill it.

EDIT: Even setting the shares to exclude disk1 the mover still fill it. A split level of 1 would let unRAID create a top level "Movies", "TV", or "Music share on a disk if it did not exist, but it would not be able to create any lower level directories. If the directory being copied to by the mover is inside of Movies TV, or music, it will ONLY be copied to a disk where it already exists. You probably need to set the split level to 2 or 3 (or even higher) depending on the target directory to be moved.
May 4, 201115 yr Author I did quite a lot of reading yesterday and I think I've figured it out. It was a different share causing the issue, one that sabnzbd downloads to. The unprocessed downloads where in a share called \\usenet\incomplete but the split level was only set to 1. All the incomplete downloads where getting put onto disk1 and because my server only has an atom board it takes a while to process them so that they get moved to the correct shares. Anyway I've changed sabnzbd to download to the cache drive and set my processed downloads to go to the shares set by the categories. If no category is set they go to \\usenet\complete with the usenet share now having a split level of 2 so that anything written into the complete folder can span the array. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
