August 31, 20232 yr My mover is not writing to 2 of my drives. It just skipped a drive with 1.41tb left, in order and in favor of a drive with 1.11tb. Is there logic i dont know of? Because I have a 2 drives one with 1.53tb and one with 1.41tb free. The mover is skipping these drives in favor of fuller drives. I thought the mover is spossed to write to least full device to certain levels, ie. 1.12tb and 550gb. Any info and help is appreciated EDIT - Share is set to High-Water. But doesnt seem to be choosing the highest Edited August 31, 20232 yr by qw3r7yju4n

Please also mention which share seems to be skipping which drives.

I cannot spot an obvious issue so would like to focus more sharply if possible BTW: You seem to have a lot of .cfg files in the config/shares folder on the flash drive for shares that no longer exist. It might be worth deleting these to tidy up the diagnostics.

September 1, 20232 yr Community Expert I must admit even on looking closer I cannot spot any reason for the behaviour you are experiencing. I notice you have not rebooted for some time - might be worth trying that just in case it applies the 'magic sauce'. Could combine this with the upgrade to the 6.12.4 release.

Ok, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for your help!
September 15, 20232 yr Author Finally Rebooted. Will update tomorrow 12pm EST if mover is working correctly or not
September 20, 20232 yr Author Well, it looks like the problem has persisted. I have about 4 drives that are not getting written to. Any other advice is welcome
September 20, 20232 yr Community Expert Try setting a small share floor, a user reported that it started working after changing it.

September 20, 20232 yr Community Expert 18 minutes ago, qw3r7yju4n said: Mine was already set to 0 zero is no floor set, if your biggest file is 125GB that's a good setting, but in this case is mostly to see if it changes anything, because the current config looks correct to me.

Thanks for taking the time. I really appreciate it. I'll write back tomorrow 1200hrs EDT when mover runs
September 22, 20232 yr Author The mover ran and the drives are still not being used. Any other ideas?
September 22, 20232 yr Community Expert Not really, if you create a new test share and copy a couple of files there does it behave correctly?
September 22, 20232 yr Author 1 hour ago, JorgeB said: Not really, if you create a new test share and copy a couple of files there does it behave correctly? Ok - I created a test share and moved files to it. Invoked mover and it is writing to one of the orphaned drives. So something in the share config is borked. You know more than me.
September 22, 20232 yr Author Solution FIxed it! I just used the read setting feature and read the settings from the test share. I also removed all the manual disk assignments and changed it to "All" disks. Wrote a file to the share and the mover is writing to the orphaned drive. Thanks to the mods and their wisdom! Thank you
