Hello,

 

Sorry if this has been asked already. I have 3X 3TB drives... 1 parity.

I created 1 folder and assigned all drives.

unRAID started the data on 1 drive.

the drive is 60% full.

 

At what point will unRAID start writing to the second drive? 

 

Thank you.

At what point will unRAID start writing to the second drive? 

Whenever the split level of the share and allocation method you assigned tell it to. All that is user specified, so without knowing your folder structure and your relevant settings, nobody can tell you.

So I have high water set as allocation method and disabled split level... I don't have folder/files to separate as I only have files.

 

Thanks for any insight or suggestions.

With high-water allocation it should have started writing to the 2nd drive when the 1st was half full.

 

Did you enable shares (on the Settings menu) and create a share for your data?

 

... and are you writing to that share?

 

If you simply created a folder on disk1, and are writing to that folder, UnRAID will simply write it to that folder.

 

Yes, I did enable shares in settings and created a shared folder. I told it to use all drives. I disabled split level... yesterday but high-water allocation was set from the beginning.

 

Thanks again.

Post screen shots of Settings->Share Settings and the Share config page.

Attached.

What path are you typing/using when writing to the share?

Attach a syslog.

Need the whole syslog.

Please zip and attach.

please download from the link above. There is a download button top right the txt file. Thanks.

 

If you want support you should really attach the zipped file here.  Many users won't want to go to an unknown site that could easily be hosting malware.

Thanks for setting me straight. I didn't think about it from that perspective.

Remove or disable simplefeatures.

OK - all the rest is good? Why no Simplefeatures?

Remove all add-ons. Start in safe mode.

ok done, now what? What am I looking for...

Does the problem still exist?

I don't know if it was a problem. I will have to add data and see if the folder grows over the 2 drives allocated to it. Thanks for checking the logs. I assume that they look ok.

With the current space utilization, you should simply be able to copy a file to the server and confirm it goes to the 2nd drive, since that should be selected based on the high-water allocation.
