October 29, 200916 yr I want to use the Fill-Up method for my shares.... In the share settings, do I need to specify a minimum free space? If I want 2gb free, so I specify "2gb" or "2048mb" or what? I'm assuming I dont need to put anything in the split level since I think that's for the other methods. Included and Excluded disks? I dont think I need to do anything with those either since I have already manually created the folders on the roots of the drives I wish to include.... So, do I need to specify free space? How do I do that? Do I need to specify the disks?
October 29, 200916 yr Author There's what I've got. My folder structure is disk3/Movies disk4/Movies disk5/Movies Do I need to specify the disks on the web interface like that?
October 29, 200916 yr I wish I could help you more but since I do not run 4.5beta7 I can't really do that much. Take a look here though and read up on the Fill-up method. As far as setting the include disks, yes you do need to do that. The excludes are then inferred so there is no need to specify those.
October 29, 200916 yr Author Seems slightly redundant after I've already created the folders.... maybe if i tell the web interface to also use disk4, it will create a folder there and use it when the time comes. oh well. that thread also answered my question about size notation. thanks.
October 30, 200916 yr From what I understand you would not have had to create the folders on those disks ahead of time. You only needed to create the folder on one disk and then set the includes appropriately.
October 30, 200916 yr I never manually create folders on my unRAID server. If I want something new, I create a new user share (via the 'settings' page) and from there use the split level, includes, and excludes fields to specify how I want that folder to behave, and on which disk(s) I want it to reside.
October 31, 200916 yr Author OK. Getting really frustrated here. I started completely over. I am using "user" shares. I created a new one called "Television" told it to use disk2 and disk3 and use the Fill-Up Method. It's just running disk2 down to zero free bytes and crashing.... not rolling to disk3... Am I not specifying something correctly? unraid created a folder on disk2 but has not created anything on disk3 regardless of the fact that 2 is full and no more data can get copies to the share. ??? ???
October 31, 200916 yr As someone else asked, what share are you actually writing too? \\server_name\television?

When specifying the "free" space, I'd try leaving off the commas in the number. They might be confusing it.
October 31, 200916 yr Author As someone else asked, what share are you actually writing too? \\server_name\television? Yes. I am accessing \\tower\television
October 31, 200916 yr Maybe make sure the min free space setting is about 2 times times larger than the largest file size you are moving to the array. So, if you are moving 5gig movie files try something like 10 000 000 for the value which should be 10Gbytes. Otherwise, all your settings look correct so if that's not it then I don't know where the problem is. Peter
