June 12, 201412 yr hi i have an existing unRAID system 5.0.5 i followed the proper steps to add the disks, and all added successfully. Once my system was back up and the new disks are ready, I added some of the new disks to existing "User Shares", but still my windows 7 client (the drives are mapped) still not showing any additional disk space on each mapped drive. why is that? Is there something I need to do to recalculate the user shares or anything? thanks
June 12, 201412 yr It could be a couple of things: Do you have any disk inclusions or exclusions set? What is your allocation method for the share? Lastly, do you have a cache drive enabled? Chances are one of those 3 things are your issue. Once you post results we can likely narrow it down further (if you don't resolve it with the answer to one of those settings).
June 12, 201412 yr Author hi thanks for the quick reply I included few of the new disks to existing user shares. my allocation method is high-water. and no, i don't have any cache drive. awaiting your help. thanks
June 12, 201412 yr Okay, so if you don't have an issue with inclusions/exclusion or cache drive, then it may be the high-water allocation. The following wiki page describes how high water allocation works: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Un-Official_UnRAID_Manual#High_Water If you had another disk in the array of the same size and it is less than 50% full it may be continuing to fill that disk until it reaches the 50% before moving to the new disk. Is that possible?
June 12, 201412 yr Okay, that is a bit strange. You mentioned you added the disks to the share. Does that mean you are explicitly specifying which disks are in use for each share? Is there a possibility of an error there?
June 12, 201412 yr i'm thinking, do i need to run a parity check ? Parity check shouldn't matter here. That will only verify the parity disk vs the files on disk. Can you send a screenshot of your GUI and the syslog?
June 13, 201412 yr Author attached are the screenshots. how can i generate the logs from command line?
June 13, 201412 yr Author when i click compute for one of the shares, attached is the result. It's showing only the old disks. note: disks 1 to 9 are the original array disks, the new disks are 10-15
June 13, 201412 yr In the share settings, the include and exclude fields are probably messing you up. You should never need to enumerate more than half of your disks to accomplish what you want. Right now in the screen shot you show include with a list of what looks like could be the entire list of your disks, in any case you should clear that field and use the exclude field to tell unraid which disks you don't want it to use for that share. If you want unraid to use all the disks for that share, clear both fields and leave them blank.

If you want unraid to use all the disks for that share, clear both fields and leave them blank. I agree. I am wondering if there is a limitation on the include field where it ignores values after a point. Removing the includes and setting excludes (if required) is a much better way to go and may resolve the issue. As for syslog, if you map \\tower\flash the syslog is in the root directory. You can copy it from a windows machine and post here. Given your screen shots though I would start with fixing the include/exclude options and see if the problem persists.
June 14, 201412 yr Author hi, thanks guys, that worked. I removed all the included disk, and added few exclude disks.
