Any idea why it keeps telling me that the disk is full when i know that there is like 700 gigs free still?  the files im trying to transfer are only one dvd so what like 8 gigs.  ive tried just using the windows drag and drop thing and ive tried total comander.  everything looks clean. no errors on the disks or anything so im at a loss. 

 

im not sure if its relevant but it started happening when i switched everything over to cat6 and the 1000mbps nic.

 

thoughts?

Are you writing to a user share or a disk share?

user i think.  it says user on the shares page.  there is only one share on the whole thing.  its all one folder called videos. 

My guess is that your user share settings are causing the new data to be written to another disk in your array that is full or near full.

 

Check out this post and see if it helps.

Here is what mine is set at.

 

Share name:  Videos

Comments: DVD Movies

Allocation method: High water

Split level :               2        < should this be 1 or 3???

Included disk(s):

Excluded disk(s):

Export mode:            export read/write

 

All of my movies are ripped to iso's.  In unraid(the videos share) i have 12 folders (action, horror, comedy, music, documentary, kids, etc.)  once i rip a movie i just drop it in with the rest of the folders and when im ready i put them in there genre folder.  I dont put them in individual folders. If its a The Ring for example, it just gets dropped into horror right along side the texas chainsaw massacre and friday the 13th.

 

After reading that post i started thinking that maybe the share area outside of the genre folders was full or something so i put the 7 movies that where just hanging around outside in to there folers and still got nothing.

That should work. The split at 2 means that 2 levels of directories can split across multiple.

 

First split is the main Videos directory. This can span multiple drives.

 

Second split is the genre directories. These can span multiple drives.

 

However, everything in a directory under the genre directories has to remain on the same drive. So, if you are ripping to a structure with further sub-directories (which it sounds like) then you could end up with a full disk as it tries to move one of those movies into it's sub-directory.

 

At the top of the shares tab set the drives to be export read/write and then you will get a bunch of new shares, disk1, disk2, disk3 etc. Open each one and look through the directory structure and see if anything looks funny. Especially open the disks that show as full or close to full on the interface page and see what is going on with those.

 

If there is a disk that has space then try to copy the movie directly to it.

 

If you still have trouble post a syslog next time.
