Ken R. Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I guess I don't get it. I thought I understood how this worked but one of my drives filled up the other day and obviously I don't understand. After it filled (disk 2) and the mover started failing I deleted the BIN share files which was a years worth of deleted files, quite a few gigs worth so now I have only 73% used on that disk. I know why the disk filled and the mover failed as one of my backups was larger than the share Min. free space but the disk was 98% full when it tried to write the file. Why with a High Water setting did it even try to write that Disk at all? I thought high water would fill all my disks 1/2 full, then fill all disks 3/4 full then 7/8's etc. Here's the deal.... and here is my typical setup. I have about 12 shares like this. can someone tell me what I'm doiing wrong? Thanks, Ken Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Split level may be too low. Quote Link to comment
evans036 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 with a split level=1, maybe its b/c of your directory structure under 'movies' (eg only one directory would do that). steve Quote Link to comment
Ken R. Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 I suppose keeping each TV show locked to one disk could cause the problem for really long running shows.... I'll adjust it different for TV directories and see what happens. Keeping each movie to one disk should not cause a problem. Quote Link to comment
mr-hexen Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 if your share is setup like this: \\tower\media\tv shows\show\episode then a split level of 1 will keep all the shows on a single drive. Quote Link to comment
Ken R. Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 There is no \media\ in there just ; \\tower\TV\Title\Season01\ep.mkv at split level 1 I figure \\tower\TV\Title\* would be locked to one disk. at split level 2 I figure \\tower\TV\Title\Season\* would be locked to one disk - ie the same Title with a different season could be on another disk. being I was at level 1 I am assuming that only a new Title could be written to disk 3 (after Disk 2 passed 50%) and any existing show's new seasons would be added only on disk 2 (the disk that filled) Quote Link to comment
