February 8, 201214 yr Hi, unRAID setup is 4.7, 2TB parity and 3 2TB drives. When i first started playing with unRAID, i only had 1 data and the parity drive. i setup up a video share and a backup share and copied my data to those 2 shares. I've since added 2 more drives. As i copy new data to the shares, the other drives don't seem to be used. Is there a way to now balance the data from those shares across the drives? Or can i have one share allocated to drive 1 and the other share to drive 2? Apologies if this has been answered numerous times before.
February 8, 201214 yr UnRaid won't automatically 'spread' you data out if you add a new disk. As you add data it follows the rules of the allocation method which can be read about in the UnRaid Wiki http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=UnRAID_Manual#User_shares_2 using the same settings you can include and exclude disks per shares so if you really wanted to you can make Share 1 only go onto Disk 1 and Share 2 on Disk 2. This won't move any data that is already on the disks, i believe Midnight Commander can help you with moving data around on the server (Telnet in and type mc into the prompt).
