Post screen shots of the specific share settings and Settings->Share Settings.

is this what you mean

Yes. And the Share Settings config under the Settings tab.

found it here you go

I believe the "included disks" should be set to "All".  This allows all disks to be used for ANY share.  The first screen you posted is used to set which disks to be used for that particular share. 

so simple swap disk1,disk2 to ALL dose it have be caps etc on the share settings

so simple swap disk1,disk2 to ALL dose it have be caps etc on the share settings

 

Mine is 'All' --- No quotes of course!  I do believe that a blank is equivalent to 'All' but I am not completely sure of that. 

thanks so much have swap it to All like you and working now

 

thanks for your help again

You should probably read a few sections of the 'Unofficial Documentation'  to help you get things setup so you avoid problems in the future.  They begin here:

 

      http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Un-Official_UnRAID_Manual#Allocation_method

 

Read that section and the ones on 'Min. Free Space' and 'Split Level' that follow.  Min Free space is very important as unRAID does not determine if a file will fit before it starts the copy.  If the file doesn't fit, the copy fails 'ungracefully'.
