Hi All

 

I'm fairly new to unRaid. I have 3 disks and enabled user shares and entered disk1, disk2, disk3

 

I want a movies directory on all 3 disks to appear are 1 user share, so I added it as a share.

 

I cpied 10 folders to root of disk 3 yesterday and they all appeared as user shares. So it appears that whatever folder I put one disk1, disk2 and disk3 automatically becomes a user share. how do I disable this but still have Movies span all 3 disks?

 

Thanks

If you created a share called Movies, how many disks it will use for that share basically depends on whether you included or excluded any disks in that particular share settings. By default the included and excluded disks are blank, which means that the share would use all available disks.

 

Whether 10 folders of movies spanned all disks or not also depends on the sizes of the folders and the allocation method. I suggest you read up the wiki to see how those 2 fields work in order to improve your understanding of the same.

It was mentioned that you can control in the settings for each share what disks they are allowed to be on.

 

What may not have been clear was that any folder you put at the top level on any of the disk?? type shares will automatically show up as a user share (assuming that you have user shares enabled).

I couldn't see to recreate your issue:-

 

Can I confirm this is what you mean? I may have misread.
