Hi this is my first unraid install. 

 

I'm copying files locally from an ext4 formatted usb.

 

My array is like this:

 

 

My share settings:

 

from command line I did cp -r * /mnt/user/films/

 

so in /mnt/user/films/ it has

 

/mnt/user/films/film_title1/filmname.mkv

/mnt/user/films/film_title2/filmname.mkv

etc

 

I've looked at /mnt/disk1 and everything seems to have been copied there whilst disk2 and 3 are empty, is that right? I was expecting some to be on disk2 and disk3. 

 

 

Your allocation method is "High Water".  Files will go to Disk 1 until it has 4TB free then disk 2 until it has 4TB, and so on.

doh, thanks.
