March 12, 20179 yr Hi All, What is the drive allocation logic for files created above a share's split level? I have split lelvel 2 on my TV share so all files for a sean directory stay together on a disk. I'm seeing show metadata files what sit in the show directory, above season directories on many drives which don't seem to have any relationship to the drives selected for the seasons: Season 01 Disk 3 2016-08-14 14:35 Season 02 Disk 6 2016-08-14 14:35 backdrop.jpg 422 KB Disk 13 2016-08-06 15:23 banner.jpg 44,3 KB Disk 15 2015-07-12 21:14 cover.jpg 210 KB Disk 15 2015-07-12 21:14 fanart.jpg 802 KB Disk 15 2015-07-12 21:14 folder.jpg 210 KB Disk 15 2015-07-12 21:14 poster.jpg 210 KB Disk 15 2015-07-12 21:14 season-all-banner.jpg 44,3 KB Disk 15 2015-07-12 21:14 season-all-poster.jpg 210 KB Disk 15 2015-07-12 21:14 season-all.tbn 210 KB Disk 15 2015-07-12 21:14 season-specials-poster.jpg 115 KB Disk 13 2016-08-06 15:23 season01-poster.jpg 213 KB Disk 15 2015-07-12 21:14 season01.tbn 213 KB Disk 15 2015-07-12 21:14 season02-poster.jpg 167 KB Disk 7 2016-02-12 04:13 season02.tbn 167 KB Disk 7 2016-02-12 04:13 season03-poster.jpg 115 KB Disk 17 2016-09-04 06:32 series.xml 2,06 KB Disk 13 2016-08-13 05:39 tvshow.nfo 1,80 KB Disk 15 2017-03-12 05:55
March 12, 20179 yr It's not clear exactly what you are saying. How did you create that listing? A file above the split level can go wherever unless I'm totally missing your meaning. Have you read the Help for User Share settings? Those settings will not move anything, they just apply to new writes.
March 12, 20179 yr Author HI!, I'm sorry I'm being unclear. I have noticed that files above the split level seem to be getting placed on seemingly random drives. The list I posted is simply the display unraid web gui has when I navigate into my TV share and then a show. I understand that they apply to new writes but I dont follow what logic is used to place files which are created above the split level, it it simply going to use the allocation method defined for the share? some files in the example Iposted have foound their way on to disk7, which I htink has been "full" for a very long time now... I notice that I often have very many more drives spinning that I should have and I suspect that it's because my TV show metadata files are all over my array.
March 12, 20179 yr Have you changed the settings for that share since you created it? What do you have for allocation method on that share?
