Luke_Starkiller Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) 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, 2018 by Luke_Starkiller Quote Link to comment

_jonte Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment

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? Quote Link to comment
