What settings do I need to make so when I create a folder in a disk that is doesn't copy automatically to others disks?

 

I have disk1, disk2, disk3 etc. If I create "foldera" in disk1 I see it in disk2 and disk3 but it may be empty or it may have files.

 

I would like to keep every drive separate from each for the future.

 

How do I go about cleaning up what has been done? I have 15 drives.

 

I am using 5.0-rc11 currently but I don't believe my issue is with this version.

first of all i recommend reading up on unraid configuration in the wiki (http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/UnRAID_Wiki).

 

second, you would have to provide a little information about your current setup for anybody to help you. like do you use shares etc.

I think it has to do with http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/UnRAID_Manual#User_shares_2 I am not sure.

But I can't wrap my head around that.

 

 

Yes, shares are on. I am not sure how you would see data with shares being off.

What more info can I give you?

 

It may have something to do with the settings here, I believe: http://tower/Settings/ShareSettingsMenu

Included disk(s): All

Excluded disk(s): None

That is the current settings there.

it is actually pretty good explained in the wiki, what happens if you use shares.

if shares ould be off you would be still able to check on the contents of each drive. GUI - folders for each drive...

sorry, with your link i (or anybody else) can look at your settings m8! thats your internal (your home network link). you would have to add a screenshot of it. anyway, my guess (i am by far not an expert here) is you are using the "waterfall" (high -water) setting. so do i. nothing wrong with it!

but basically that means, one drive is filled to a certain percentage it starts to write files to another drive. all stays within the share and file structure within that share. in "share view" all should look just normal as a folder structure. it is just 'spread out' over several hdd's, according to your share config/ settings.

if you want to keep things on one hdd you need to alter your share settings or disable them completely to use a straight forward hdd by hdd approach.

once again i suggest spending some time with the wiki. some of the concepts in there need a little time and relaxation to wrap your head around. was the same for me not so long ago.

but end of the day, nobody can really make you understanding this basic concepts. throw everybody out, put some good music on, for god sake - have a reefer, re-read this sections carefully and let it sink in! you have a server with 15hdd's - it is about high time to understand the basic principles to set them up to your advantage m8!!!

change include from "all" to "disk1" (or "diskX" depending on where you want what).

 

once complete, delete "foldera" from disk 2-15.

Do not change the share settings under Settings->Share Settings. That will effect all shares, including any new ones created. Each share has individual settings. Make this configuration in Shares->share_name.
