GuiH Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Hello, I'm unable to create a directory or write data to my array, even though there is still space left. I tried deleting data anyway to make more space but nothing helps. What could be the issue? serverh-diagnostics-20240305-1038.zip Edited March 5 by GuiH adding screenshots Quote Link to comment
GuiH Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 (edited) Update: I seem to be able to write to disk1 and disk2, just not to the array. Cache is writable too. I did a filesystem check and had no error. Edited March 5 by GuiH Quote Link to comment
Solution itimpi Posted March 5 Solution Share Posted March 5 What share is it? You might want to check the Minimum Free Space setting for that share as you may find that is larger than the free space on any of your array drives. Working directly with the disk share bypasses that setting. Quote Link to comment

Working directly with the disk share bypasses that setting. Indeed, the minimum free space is 146.4 GB and free space is 144 GB. Is it something I can safely lower? Working with disk share would bypass that indeed, but is it something safe to do in a docker mount? Quote Link to comment

That setting is covered here in the online documentation accessible via the Manual link at the bottom of the Unraid GUI. In addition every forum page has a DOCS link at the top and a Documentation link at the bottom. The Unraid OS->Manual section covers most aspects of the current Unraid release. If you do not set it then I think the current default is based on a percentage of the size of your largest disk. Quote Link to comment
GuiH Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Indeed, thank you for your response and all the information! I didn't lower it too much because I have a 100 Gb file currently in the array, but I freed some more space and it is working now. Quote Link to comment

This is not necessarily a reason to not lower it further! It just means that if in the future you get large files you need to copy it directly to a disk share. Quote Link to comment
