November 21, 20196 yr Hello everyone, I'm struggling with odd behavior of my Unraid. I still have situation, where only first disk is being filled up, where others have more space available : Files are uploaded into Backup directory :
November 21, 20196 yr High water marks are based on the largest drive, in your case 8TB. Once there's less than 1TB available on it, then it'll start filling disk 2,3,4 & 5 until there's 500GB available, then start over again until 2,3,4,5 have 250GB, then 2,3,4,5 until 125 GB, then will start putting files on 1,2,3,4,5 once there's 62.5GB. Assuming of course that disk 5 isn't excluded in the global share settings (Settings tab)
November 21, 20196 yr Author 8TB is not HDD, it is summary of all 4x2TB ....I should do better screenshot.
November 21, 20196 yr Community Expert We need the diags and the name of the share you are copying to.
November 21, 20196 yr Author I'm coyping via SMB to backups directory. Diagnostics attached. echidna-diagnostics-20191121-0801.zip Edited November 21, 20196 yr by mucflyer
November 21, 20196 yr Sounds like you want "Most Free" allocation. Why don't you just pick that instead?
November 21, 20196 yr Author Sounds like, but after changing High Water to Most Free it won't balance data itself....Now need to find a way to do some house cleaning...

What has been written won't be redistributed. When trying to redistribute data manually, make sure you don't accidentally move files between disk share and user share because you will lose data. Due to that risk, it's better to just let thing slowly correct itself over time as more data is written. There is an Unbalance plugin that can help.
