As a drive fills with top only split level what happens?

[alexdodd]

I have a 'TV' share on its own two disks and I have set my share to fill-up and set a 5GB minimum free space.

 

Naturally my TV shows incrementally grow larger one episode at a time, so theoretically there might come a time where there is no room left for an episode, or a whole season (netflix release).  However I have set it to not split the show folder over disks*.

 

Does the new episode write fail due to lack of space, or (more hopefully) does the whole show folder move to the next drive and write everything there?

 

*I think at least, I have it set to "automatically only split the top level directory as required."

Unraid never moves files automatically between drives.     In your scenario you will start getting fails with ‘out-of-space’ errors.

Ok perfect, one to know then, is there a better config i should have here?

I have one drive that i'm filling up purely for TV, and i've just added a second drive ready as overflow, but i'm thinking this won't work as I expect, and it will require me to look out for the event at a time undefined in the future.
