imperiects Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Yesterday my disk1 one filled up (as configured) but downloads and everything did not continue on a different drive in the array. Global share is set to all disks. Data share is set to fill-up / all disk. I have rebooted the server. Tried different setting (high water/most free). Nothing changed. How can this be resolved? Side note. Trying to transfer my /data/incomplete folder to a different drive begins a 14TB transfer. the drive is only 8TB. Not sure how its reading 14TB tower-diagnostics-20220820-0804.zip Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 What do you have set for Minimum Free Space for the share? That tells Unraid when to consider another disk. It should be larger than the biggest file you expect to send to the share - normally twice as big is the recommended value. Quote Link to comment
imperiects Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 it is set to 50GB. Quote Link to comment

imperiects Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 it was set to default. Split as needed. It is now set to level 2. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Why do you want fillup anyway? Default highwater is often best. Quote Link to comment
imperiects Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 Yes it was configured like that (split as needed) when the issue began. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding. You are writing to a user share, and not to a disk, correct? 2 hours ago, imperiects said: transfer my /data/incomplete folder to a different drive Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 A split level of 2 is highly likely to cause problems - you want it set to split as needed if you are using the Fill-Up allocation method. Was the 50GB Minimum Free Space setting always there or was that added when you started encountering problems? Are any of the files you are trying to copy larger than 50GB - if so you need to increase the value for this setting. You might want to check the "Full" disk to see if there are any incomplete files there from a previously failed attempt to copy files - if so they should be deleted as they would stop the allocation method being used as existing files are always over-written in-situ. It might be a good idea at this point to manually move files to another drive to free up space on the full drive and see if things then start behaving better. Since you are on a 6.10.x release the Dynamix File Manager plugin is the best way to do this. Quote Link to comment
imperiects Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) I swapped to split level 2 after the issue presented itself. Can swap it back to as needed. The 50GB limit has been there since the share was set up. Quality settings in the arrs is limited. Shouldn't be any single file over 23GB. Some manual adds are in the 40GB range. There are incomplete files. I am freeing up room by transferring the completed files to a different disk (2.7TB ish). I was going to transfer the incomplete folder but it reads 14TB when the drive is only 8TB. I've started the file transfer for completed files a couple hours ago. So downloads can continue and I can try to resolve the issue. I guess I had this issue before. A drive hit 100% (then died >.<) but I didn't think about it hitting max as much as I was concerned about the dead drive. Edited August 20, 2022 by imperiects Quote Link to comment

imperiects Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 Not saying they're related. The device being disabled. Then missing upon reboot. Then not spinning up when pulled for testing. Died. That was weeks ago. Quote Link to comment
imperiects Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) deleted everything that was incomplete. Set share to high water. Double checked limit settings. Between share, sonarr, and radarr they are all set to 50GB. Its been running high water for almost 10 minutes. Still writing to disk1 even though disk5 and disk7 are nearly empty.
