Hey all,

 

I don't use user shares to write to my drives as I'm running an ftp server instead. The problem is that i write to /mnt/user/ as opposed to directly to the disk i want, so I'm expecting unRAID to be logical about what drive it should write too. But it doesn't appear to do that. Right now my work-around is to manually move files across the drives so I have an even amount of free space on each drive. But it would be much simpler if there was a way to either manually control what drives get written to (when going through /mnt/user) or actually getting one of the allocation methods to work.

 

Thanks,

Chris

You need to configure the User Shares for whatever allocation method you want to use. That's the only way writes to /mnt/user/{Share} have information to make allocation decisions.

Interesting ok, I actually already had the share that im writing to setup to use high-water. But forgot to mention that I'm actually binding (using bindfs) /mnt/user/share to another path and writing to that instead. I'm guessing that might be why it's not allocating properly.
