New user - disk 1 in array not filling up before writing to disk 2?

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I am a new UnRAID user - I am running UnRAID Basic 5.0 rc12a.  My array configuration is like this: Disks 1 and 2 are 1TB and my parity disk is 2TB.  When copying files to the array today I noticed that my Disk 1 is now 50% full with 499.58GB free.  However instead of writing to fill up disk 1 100%, new files are now being written to disk 2 which was previously empty.

 

Can anyone please explain why the system is now writing to disk 2 before disk 1 is full? 

 

Thanks!

Saw this on disk 1 SMART stats.  Is this a major concern?  Could this be causing my error

OOPS - never mind - this seems to be the way the High Water disk allocation is supposed to work!

 

I am concerned about the SMART errors though.....is this serious?

 

Thanks

OOPS - never mind - this seems to be the way the High Water disk allocation is supposed to work!

Thanks

 

High water = takes the largest disk size and cuts it in two, then fills all disks up to that value, once all disks are at that value, it cuts the old value in half again and fills all disks up to the new value.

 

E.G. like:-

Fill all disks up to 1.5TB

Fill all disks up to 750GB

Fill all disks up to 375GB

Assuming the disks at 3TB in size.

 



 

Most-Free = Picks the disk with the most free space, it works on the real value, not on a percentage (I believe).

 



 

Fill-up = Fills disks fully up one by one

 



 

You probably want fill up, if you want disks to be filled one at a time.

OK here is the full report.  Thanks for all the help!
