sdamaged Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have an idea on the best way to accomplish this scenario? I have 12 x 14TB data disks, and my current data usage is at 80TB I want to be able to have all my current data fill the first six disks, and the last 6 to be empty so they can stay spun down. Of course as the first 6 fill, then move onto the 7th I'm currently using High Water, but as i understand it, that would fill each volume to 50% first? Do i need to switch to fill up mode? Purely thinking about power savings! EDIT - i assume i could also exclude the last 6 disks from all shares, but thats a bit of a faff, and i would have to remember to re-enable them as the disks began to near capacity Edited February 20, 2020 by sdamaged Quote Link to comment

sdamaged Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Also, do you know of an easy way to move data to the first 6 volumes? At the moment i'm literally moving folders within Krusader. Would be epic if i could just somehow instruct the data to be shifted to the first disks a bit easier Quote Link to comment

sdamaged Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Ah yes, so i have tried that and i believe it will move data from disk to disk, but i didn't think it could do it en masse. I'll check it again though as not used it for a while thanks a lot EDIT just checked and it does indeed do this using "scatter" - amazing! Edited February 20, 2020 by sdamaged Quote Link to comment
