February 9, 20179 yr Hello, Is it possible to setup one specific drive to be an SMB share? At the minute it will use RAID and split files between disks, I want to be able to just have the one drive as the share.

At the minute it will use RAID and split files between disks, I want to be able to just have the one drive as the share. Unraid has drive shares set up already, they are just turned off by default to help users avoid an issue with copying files between mount points that results in file loss. Not quite sure what you are saying in the second part. Unraid doesn't (and can't) split files between array disks, each disk is an independent file system and the user share system offers a merged view of all the common root folders in each of the drives.
February 10, 20179 yr Safest option would be to set up a new share and then set only one specific disk to be included. That would keep files on one disk without exposing disk shares and risk mixing them with user shares. As noted, any individual file is only stored on one disk. Multiple files in the same folder may however, depending on settings, be written to different disks.
February 10, 20179 yr Author I have been trying to find the option to choose a specific disk for the share but I can't seem to find it? Edit: Found it I also assumed it had some sort of RAID due to it having an Array and allocation methods like High-water
