High water method

[toiletduck]

Hi.

 

I have a 5 drive array (1x 4TB parity, 2x 3TB, 2x 2TB) and I've just finished populating it with all my data from another server (FREENAS, man UNRAID is simple compared to that!!)

 

Anyway, I was under the impression it fills up the drives somewhat equally with the highwater method, but my allocation is as follows:

 

3TB drive 1: 69%

3TB drive 2: 50%

2TB drive 3: 25%

2TB drive 4: 26%

 

Shouldn't it be more equal than that? I've also got 'Automatically split any directory as required' selected.

 

Have I missed something?

That's normal because of the different size devices, see here for more info:
