RhythmicCarnage Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Hello, before I begin I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this. The Project I am using unRAID to host an Ubuntu VM running Open Streaming Platform, which is an open-source video website in a box basically. I also have a Valheim and a NPM docker node running which provides something to game on for my audience and routing/certs for HTTP and HTTPS. The goal when starting out with this project in April 2022 was to create the largest VM I could and then let it fill up with user VODs from the OSP software. The Issue Today I woke up to see the following stats from my unRAID dashboard... Disk 1 = 4TB/4TB full Ubuntu VM Paused So I start Googling and find some discussions on here about Disks can't split a VM img file and now I'm concerned that I have misconfigured the array and VM for what I want. I added a cache disk out of my second parity disk but I don't think the mover is taking anything from the VM and spreading it out. I'm not sure how to handle this... Thoughts? tower-diagnostics-20230507-1524.zip Edited May 7, 2023 by RhythmicCarnage added VM tab and diagnostics. Quote Link to comment
Solution Kilrah Posted May 7, 2023 Solution Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) As you've seen a single file cannot span multiple drives. The common way of setting things up is to have a small vdisk, on an SSD for the OS and app and have it store the actual data/content to a network share, which is an unraid share and that will be able to scatter the files across drives.

RhythmicCarnage Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 So basically I have to somehow route my /var/www folder in the VM to an unRAID disk share? How do I do that? Quote Link to comment
Kilrah Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Not a disk share since that would also be a single disk, a user share... and how you do it depends on the app, most would have a setting of where to store the data instead of just having it in /var/www Never used that one.

RhythmicCarnage Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 https://openstreamingplatform.com/ It runs in Ubuntu 22 so I'm unsure of how to link it like that is all. Quote Link to comment
