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?

added VM tab and diagnostics.

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.

So basically I have to somehow route my /var/www folder in the VM to an unRAID disk share? How do I do that?

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.

It runs in Ubuntu 22 so I'm unsure of how to link it like that is all.
