Hi!

 

I have an array that consists of 4 disks.

 

I just wanted to add my first share. 

 

So what kind of allocation method and split level shall i use?

 

Most kind of my stuff is media like movies and series.

 

I´m also going to install emby docker container.

It depends on a lot of factors...

 

That said, the defaults are quite reasonable. The high water allocation method is a good compromise that works well in most situations. As for split level, I used to set it to a value that keeps episodes from the same season together, but now I'm fine with splitting as required. For my usage patterns the high water allocation keeps files together well enough from a practical point of view, and saves me the trouble of making sure individual disks have enough space free.

 

Do you have any specific requirements or expectations?
