September 19, 20232 yr I have my shares set to High-Water method for allocation and it works fine. What happens when a file added to a folder already on a drive pushes that folder's size over the minimum free space threshold? Will that folder be automatically moved off the drive? If not is there a way to make that happen?
September 19, 20232 yr Solution Nothing is ever moved between array drives automatically, and min free space threshold is checked only at creation time of new files. Recommended min free space is usually twice the size of the largest file you'd expect to throw into the share.

Recommended min free space is usually twice the size of the largest file you'd expect to throw into the share. My minimal free space threshold is sufficient and is double of what I would drop into a share in a single time. However, high-water policy on the first child (folder) of the share so it increases over time. This is something I proactively deal with by manually moving children off that drive before I hit that min free space threshold. I was hoping for some automatic way of dealing with it 🤔
