January 6, 201313 yr added new drive (disk 2) and there is no shares in it please help I know it is probably a stupid question
January 6, 201313 yr I could be wrong but I believe the folders/shares are only created on a disk once content within that share is written to said disk. As you have just installed disk2 no content new content would have been written out and thus no folder. To test it you could just write a dummy file to the shares which should write to the new disk as long as your balancing level isnt set to fill disks in order.

I did make a dummy file and it wrote it to disk 1 not disk 2
January 6, 201313 yr Would the split level and allocation method allow the file to go to the new disk? Did you check the universal share include and exclude settings?

Did you check the universal share include and exclude settings? there all in the picture I think it is all good i even loaded a new movie to media folder and it didn't load it on new drive. I thought with freewater it would go to the next disk with most open space
January 7, 201313 yr No, all the info needed has not been provided. You need to provide disk sizes and file structure in the user share. Go to the settings tab and pick the shares icon. Make sure you have the include and exclude disk lines empty or set to include all and exclude none. You don't seem to have an understanding of what the user share settings mean. Go to the Wiki and read the user shares section in the unofficial manual for the explanations. Compare the examples to your settings and your data structure and see if that user share should even be using disk2.
January 7, 201313 yr I'd be interested too. If I add another disk to my box on v5. My shares don't have an include/exclude list, and are set at most free 1) Does the new disk get automatically include ? 2) If so, does the new stuff go the new disk as it has lots of space 3) Is the share rebalanced, or is it only new data.

January 8, 201313 yr High-water will not use the new disk until disk1 is over 50%. Use most-free is that is the desired behavior.

January 9, 201313 yr Just keep using the server and go to the Wiki and read how the shares work. The info quite clearly explains how the allocation methods work.
