Hello,  

 

Ive been running my unRAID server on 6.3.5 for almost two years now.   I’ve got my directory splitting set to auto on my share.  All my drives wrote to 50%, and moved to the next drive like it should.   Now that it’s back to writing to the first drive it hit the 70% wall, and is still putting more new data onto that drive even after it’s up to 74%.   My question is why is it not writing to the next disk after 70%, and how do I get it to do this properly before the top disk fills up?  Would updating the OS fix this?  I know I am behind, but everything has been working perfectly until now.   

 

I have 12 8TB HGST drives with two set as parity for a total of 80TB usable.   

 

Cheers,

 

CM

Sounds like it is working properly assuming High-water. If all your disks are the same size and they all went to 50% then the next half-way mark would be at 75%.

 

What makes you think it should have hit a wall at 70%?

You really should upgrade though. There have been several improvements since then, that old version is difficult to support, and it is probably incompatible with many plugins now.

I think I saw a pop up saying something about 70% disk usage, but it hasn’t come up but only once, and not since it hit 70%.   Now that I know it’s 75% I won’t stress, and just keep an eye on it.  

 

Thank you you for the quick reply.

I know.   I actually have three unRAID setups.   This is the one that is active nearly 24/7.   I have the others up to the latest, but I’ve been slacking on this one because of the down time.   I will make it a point to get it done soon.

That is a configurable warning indicator and totally unrelated. If you go to Disk Settings you should be able to figure out what I mean. You can also adjust that setting per disk on the page for each disk.

...and there it is!   Now things really make sense.   Thank you very much, and happy holidays.
