June 16, 20188 yr I'm just now setting up my shares and before i start copying over all my data i want to make sure i've made the right settings. Im going to have the following file structure. [see picture] I want each movie / tv show to stay on the same disk ie movie.tite / show.name. i e all seasons should be on the same disk. Should i choose split the top two directory.... / Luke Edited June 16, 20188 yr by Luke_Starkiller

June 19, 20188 yr I'd like do do pretty much the same. But not sure how this works in detail. Do I simply create the folders illustrated above manually on separate disks, and then Unraid will automatically keep that structure with subfolders?

No. Using this example you would create a Media share. Create folders in the share titled movies[4k], tv-shows and movies. UnRAID would split this level as required but anything below this level would all be contained on a single disk. For example, if I add a folder Lost In Space (2018) to tv-shows then everything in the Lost In Space folder would be contained on a single disk since only the top two levels are being split.

I think I get it now.. So basically, all TV-shows will be distributed on all disks, but say all files within "Lost in Space" will be kept on the same disk. Correct? If I'd want all TV-shows on the same disk, I could choose to split at the top level?
