Split level help

[qmatic]

So after reading the wiki, I’ve figured my split levels are wrong. I still need help understanding it and setting it optimally for my shares.

 

i have my media shares set up as the following:

 

movies\movie name\movie file

for this setup, if I want all movie names folder to be on the same disk until it has to move onto a second disk (high water), I would set it to level 1 or top level correct? If i have more than 1 file in the folder such as a .nfo file, would level 1 still work because split level only pertains to folders?

 

for shows I have it on another share as:

shows\tv show name\season\episodes

if I wanted my tv show folders to be on the same disk while seasons can be split up, I would set it to level 2 correct?

 

Also, since my initial setup was wrong, is there a plugin to fix this by moving the folders to the correct disks?

There are the diskmv/consolidate scripts but they might not work on current releases due to permissions.

Thanks I understand it a bit better now. Out of curiosity, what would happen if I set my movie share to say level 4?

Any files written above that level would be split to any disk based on the share's allocation method.
