Hi

 

I am a newbie to server & linux, so please bear with me..

 

After rebuilding(3) times , reading, and searching, I manage to get my unRAID working and watching movies from my TV.. :D

I am on unRAID v5.0 Rc3, with 2x500G HD, this morning I added a 250G HD to the array, formatted and everything seem OK. It shows up in the main screen as disk2.

 

So I tried to copy over 550G of films to the server folder Movies with TeraCopy. It just fill up the 500G HD then stop, cause it ran out of space.

I thought that the films would automatically copy to disk2 as well.

 

I have my share as :

 

Name:                               Movies

Comments:

Allocation method:               high-water

Min. free space:               0

Split level:                       4

Included disk(s):                    disk1,disk2              

Excluded disk(s):

Share empty?                       No

 

 

NFS Security Settings

Export:                               Yes

Security:                               Public

 

 

SMB Security Settings

Export:                               Yes

Security:                               Pubilc

 

PLease help...

 

Set the Min. free space to larger than the largest file that will ever be written.

thanks for the quick reply

 

I've change it to 20Gig now, my disk2 still does not have the dir called Movies..

still can not copy , cause disk full..

How large is the file? Try stopping and starting the array.

Restarted my server this morning..

 

My disk1 only have 209.44M free, I am trying to copy a file of 1.2G..

 

I now tried using window copy/paste in the server dir, but it still say not enough free space.

 

 

 

Set the Min. free space to larger than the largest file that will ever be written.

 

The min free space must be set to larger than 1.2G. Windows (or any other OS) does not tell the server the size of the incoming file.

Thanks dgaschk for all you help.

 

I went through all the steps again from begin to end on how to build a unRaid server..

I've found I forgot to include disk2 in the Setting tab, "Include disk(s)", What a noob !!!

 

transfering again the folder of 550G of data...

 

thanks again
