Trying to find a plugin that adds a couple of new columns to the shares-tab (allocation method, included disk, excluded disks). All my shares are set to HighWater and are allowed to use all disks. Some shares are set to use the ssd-cache. Reason I would like to see the extra informatie is that I got some very strange behaviour. One of my 2TB disks is not being used at all and I can figure out why.. I added the disk to the array around Februari this year. Disk 7 not being used at all. Current uptime is 3 months. Any thoughts?

 

Hi,

 

 

 

 

That's normal for high-water.

With High Water allocation and with the largest disk being 4TB I would not expect the 2TB drive to start being used until all other drives are down to 2TB (or less) free.

Oh oke..

I would have expected that they fill up kinda equally like when disk is half full an other would being filled up.  So if I understand is correctly, the 3TB at the bottom of that list is being filled before the empty 2TB drive?

 

@johnnie.black Thank you for that link.. I remembers the graph from way back but clearly forgot what it mentioned.

Yes, until there are less than 2TB free, then it will start filling the other disks.

Got it, thank you.
