fersal Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I'm running UnRAID Basic 6.0.1 with a 3-drive array (for now): 3TB Parity, 3TB Disk 1, 500GB Disk 2. I had the 500GB drive lying around so I figured I'd use it for now, to be replaced later. What worries me is that Disk 1 is over 50% full (1.23 TB free), and Disk 2 has not been written to at all. I'm worried that I didn't set up the shares' allocation method correctly. Most of the data is in the Movies and TV Shows shares. Please take a look at the screenshots below that show my Main screen, Shares, and Share file structures.

Thanks for your help in advance. Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I would not expect unRAID to start using Disk 2 until the free space on the other disk falls below 500GB. Even then it may not be used as the Split Level setting over-rides the allocation method setting if there is any conflict between them in choosing a disk to use. Link to comment

fersal Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Thanks, I thought I read somewhere that it would start using Disk 2 after Disk 1 went over 50% capacity. Global Share Settings: http://i.imgur.com/sRHUBVA.jpg Does it look OK? Link to comment

That's what I'm worried about, that the split level is not set up correctly... is it?
