malaki86 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 When I set up my server, I created a single '/media' share. I then added subdirectories in that share: /media /tv /movies /music Now, after waiting way too long, I'm wanting to get them into separate shares, with split levels enabled. Basically, I want it to split at the last level in this list: /media_tv /<seriesname> /<season> /media_movies /<moviename> /media_music /<artistname> /<albumname> So, if I'm reading the instructions correctly, I would use a 'two levels' for both TV & Music, and 'one level' for Movies, correct? Also, since everything is all bunched up together right now, when I move the individual media folders to the new location, will the proper splitting be done at that time, meaning that some media may move from one physical drive to another?

The Unraid OS->Manual section in particular covers most features of the current Unraid release. Quote Link to comment

I definitely don't have the space to do it all at once. Quote Link to comment

If you use Dynamix File Manager to do the ‘move’ it will automatically use a copy/delete strategy while doing it. Quote Link to comment
