RobbieH Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Is there a way to assign a drive to only be the repository for duplication? I was just thinking, I have an ST3000DM001 drive in my pool, and was thinking if it was only for duplication, I'd feel a whole lot better.

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Absolutely! Open up the balancer settings, find the "File Placement Limiter" or the "Disk Usage Limiter" (same thing, but we renamed it to avoid confusion with the File Placement Rules). Select the balancer, and you should see a list of ALL the disks in the pool. And each disk should have a checkbox next to it, one for "Duplicated" and one for "unduplicated". Uncheck the "Unduplicated" and ONLY duplicated data will be placed on the disk. Also, you may want to enable the option to "move un-duplicated data off of a disk with SMART Warnings" option in the StableBit Scanner balancer, as well.

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Not a problem. And sometimes, if you don't know what you're looking for, it can be very easy to overlook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
