mucflyer Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 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 : Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 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) Quote Link to comment
mucflyer Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 8TB is not HDD, it is summary of all 4x2TB ....I should do better screenshot. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 We need the diags and the name of the share you are copying to. Quote Link to comment

testdasi Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Sounds like you want "Most Free" allocation. Why don't you just pick that instead? Quote Link to comment
mucflyer Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 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... Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
