Assigning files to specific disk in array

Switching from Synology I'm loving Unraid.

 

I've just added a second 4TB NMVe drive (so 8TB in total) into my Disk Array. I went to one of my shares and added in the new disk (so disk 1 and disk 2), all good so far.


Then when checking some individual files I could see the original ones went wrote to disk 1 and now all the others are writing to disk 2... how can I assign a specific file to a specific disk in the disk array? I've seen a post about setting the split to manual, but that I believe is only for new files, I have a file that is already assigned to disk 1 and I want to move it to disk 2.

You want to look at the allocation method for new files on the share settings or specifying the included or excluded disks on the share.

 

But, you can move the file from disk 1 to disk 2 via dynamix file manager or even unbalance (both available in apps).   The OS won't move it for you between array disks automatically
