I just replaced a 300 gb drive with a new 1 TB drive and had unraid rebuild the data onto the new drive.  This drive is part of a user share that included disk1, disk2 and disk5 (disk5 is the newly replaced 1TB drive).  Disk1 had 10 gb free, disk2 had 20 gb free and the new disk5 has 500gb free.  When I tried to copy 75 GB of new data onto the drive I noticed that it never tried to copy the data to disk5.  It began filling disk1 and disk2 and then ran out of room and the windows program I was using to transfer data indicated the drive was full.  The user share is set up as high water for  the fill method.  Is there any reason unraid did not write the data to disk5?  It didn't even try to add the user share folder name on disk5...is that the problem...should I manually create this directory?

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

 

From the manual:

http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=UnRAID_Manual#User_shares

 

Creating User Shares

To create a new User share, scroll to the end of the User shares list, enter the new Share name and other configuration, and then click Add Share. unRAID OS will select the disk to create the initial top-level share directory according to the configured Allocation method.

 

So I think unRAID will never create more than a directory on the first disk it thinks it should do. It doesn't say anything about it creating the directory on all the disks, so I think you need to create it manually.

 

Cheers!

What is the "split level" set to for the user-share? 

 

If set to "0" you must create the folders it needs, including sub-folders. 

 

If set to higher, it should create the directories, up to the "level" set, as long as you do not specifically include/exclude disks.

Allocation is High Water

Split level is: 2

I have include disks.(disk1, disk2 and disk5) so it sounds like I will need to manually create the folder and give it a try.

 

Thanks,

 

Dan

What is the path where the files were being copied?

 

Was it like this - \\Tower\Share\Directory\Subdirectory\file.ext?
