I have a small problem moving files between user shares. First let me tell you how I set it up, I have only one share with all my data in. So My share looks like this:

\share\Downloads\

\share\Movies\Avatar\Avatar.mkv

\share\Tv shows\The folowing\Season 1\s01e01.mkv

 

I have set split level 3, this was working fine when i started copying all my data over to the unRAID server. All my shows got spread over all disk but any given show stayed inside 1 disk with all the seasons. All I really care about is that all the seasons in a tv show stays within 1 disk, the rest can go wherever.

 

But the problem starts when i download new episodes to share\Downloads and try to move them to \share\Tv shows\

Say the show "The Following" is on disk4\share\Tv shows\The following\Season 1\ when i try to move a new file from share\Downloads to share\Tv shows\The following\Season 1

The file does not appear on disk4 where the rest of the show is but on a diffrent disk, say disk5\share\Tv shows\The following\Season 1\ which is probably the same disk where the file was created in the first place, since I noticed the move was instantly.

 

Is my split level wrong or how do I fix this? I don't want to look through all my disk to find the correct show when I'm moving files, I just want to use the user share and move from there. I've tried using both MC with putty and explorer in windows. I've tried searching but didn't find any answer so please help me.

 

Edit: And I use  high water allocation

Move the "Downloads" folder to a new share folder at the root level.

That way when you move your files to the Movies or TV Shows folder, unRaid will see that you are moving to a different share folder and will then honor the split level requirements.

 

\Downloads\

\share\Movies\Avatar\Avatar.mkv

\share\Tv shows\The folowing\Season 1\s01e01.mkv

Okey, I'll try that.

 

Edit: Worked like a charm, thanks!
