Hi, I keep getting “Unable to write to disk n” from the FCP plugin because the disk is completely full however I'm not sure why that’s happening. I currently have 4 data disks which are pretty used (98% disk space used up).

 

That said I still have ~650GB of space free spread across most of the drives with some having ~250GB of free space. My question is why is Unraid trying to use Disk 1 / 2 instead of writing to disks 3 / 4 which have the majority of free space?

 

All my shares are set to High-water with a minimum free space of 20-30GB so I was assuming Unraid would fill drive 1 to within 20-30GB and then move on to the next disk. However it seems to keep trying to write to disk 1 or 2. 

What keeps happening is that after a day or two some free space opens back up on that drive (not sure how this is happening… perhaps Mover?).Then after another day I start getting the same errors after Unraid keeps writing to those disks?

 

I plan on adding another drive soon but nevertheless it seems like I shouldn’t be getting these errors unless I've  configured something incorrectly or perhaps misunderstanding how this should work?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thx

Check split level for all shares, it overrides allocation method.

Thx for the reply! Just checked and all my shares are using “Automatically split any directories as required”. I don’t remember playing with that setting, do I need to change it?
