New drives don't seem to be balancing equally


TheFonz

Question

Below are my drives, Disk 1 & 3 are having weird issues. To begin with Disk 1 is an older disk that's been in the pool for a while, however the balancing was off. After replacing Disk 3 with a new disk (due to failure) the balancing was off on it as well. I removed both drives and re-added them, now both drives appear as they do in the first screenshot. The last 5 screenshots are the balancer settings - I'm pretty sure these are right. I am trying to get Unduplicated and duplicated data equal across all drives. Any ideas? All drives appear as healthy in StableBit.

Cheers

Well, looks normal, honestly.

 

The placement is "random", and the big part is that it's on multiple physical disks. 

 

 

However, if you want equalize the duplicated data usage between the disks, then you should be able to do that.

Open the "Disk Space Equalizer" balancer, and uncheck the "Equalize using unduplicated data".

Let this re-balance the data, and then check the option again, and let it rebalance again.

 

This should give you want you want.
