Allow to re-distribute files between disks and reset high-water mark


Recommended Posts

This is my disk usage

All shares have set to use the "High-water" allocation method, and most of them have set to use "any directory" split level.

 

Whenever I download some files to one of the "any directory" share, most of the time the files go to disk1.

 

Is it because of the capacity difference between the disks?

 

 

 

I want to move the files between the disks based on the current shares' settings, so that the files can be distributed to the disks more evenly.

The goal is to make the disks having similar free space.

 

Is there any plugin can do this? Or can it be feature request?

2a Fill up 2TB until it has 1TB free

3. Fill up 4TB until it has 500G free

3a Fill up 2TB until it has 500G free
