March 24, 201214 yr OK. I am in the process of copying over all my data to a new UnRAID, therefore I do not currently have a cache drive or parity until my data is completely over. I just added a precleared 2TB and formatted it. It is now in the array, however, when I add any data to the disk it is adding to a drive that is already full. I use high water split level 1 currently with 7GB low level on the share I am transferring. I will generate a log if you can tell me where to find them.
March 24, 201214 yr How are the shares' include and exclude disks set? Try creating the top level directories on the new disk and see if that helps. Also, which version of unRAID (4.x, 5.x)?

I use high water split level 1 currently with 7GB low level on the share I am transferring. I will generate a log if you can tell me where to find them. A split level 1 will only split the top level directory (the user-share) If you are writing to a directory lower than this, you need to either create the directory yourself, or change the split level.
March 27, 201214 yr Author Sorry: I have been away for a while with a family emergency...I want to setup like this Movies American History X x.VOB y.IFO TV Weeds x.VOB y.IFO Workout P90X x.VOB y.IFO I think the settings should be right for that. I am on 4.7 server. So to the posters above, I am copying over True Blood for instance to \\tower\movies and it says out of space. i have an unused 2TB there. Should it not create the new folder 'True Blood' and start adding the files to the new drive? Also split level 1 is how I do this correct? As I read it that is exactly what I want.
March 31, 201214 yr I have the same problem - split level 1, though using Most-free allocation and on 5b14. Top level directory is not added to new disk, and when writing to usershare, it keeps adding to existing disk. Have checked that Included disks is set to "disk1,disk2" Have tried manually adding the top level directory on disk2, but to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions on what to check? Thanks! SOLVED: Under Settings\Share Settings, I had not added Disk2 to be included - had the misapprehension that adding it in the share set for each actual user share was enough. Won't forget that again anytime soon Perhaps this solves the question of the OP as well?
April 1, 201214 yr What is the min fee space setting? All disks are included by default. Are you asking me (t33j4y) or brettstid?
April 2, 201214 yr Author They are set to a minimum of 7GB because that is usually the larges file I will transfer over. I figured then it will not send a partial movie and get stuck.
April 14, 201214 yr Author OK. So I think I found the problem. I was getting this error everytime on the same transfer, but other transfers were working fine. The issue is in my TV section. So Here is my structure: TV MadMen Season 1 MadMenS01E01.mkv MadMenS01E02.mkv So here is the problem. I have the folder TV created and an entry already for MadMen. However, When I try to add season 2,3, or 4 to the server it says "not enough space" because the disk that contains MadMed already is at capacity. So my question would be Split level 1 seems to work well for movies, but what is a good option for TV shows to avoid this type of behavior, Split Level 2? That way even if Mad Men exists it will put the remaining seasons on the next disc? Or would split level 3 be better that way if episodes 1-8 exist but the disk becomes full it can place episode 9 on another disk?
April 14, 201214 yr It depends on what you want. Do you want a complete series or season on a single disk? Series is level 1, seasons is level 2 and if you don't care then use level 3.
