How can I use more space on my drive?

[Tatts4Life 0]

First forgive me if this doesn't make sense. I have two 6tb drives and both of them are getting full and I'll need to get another drive soon. But until I have the money to get one, How do I tell Drivepool to use more disk space for each of the drives. Both show having around 1.80tb's left on each drive. I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure my first drive got about that full when drivepool started putting my files onto the second drive. Seems like kind of a watse to have over 1tb of free space that won't get used, or over 3tb's between the two drives, if I end up getting another drive.

Go into the Balancing settings and under Balances > Prevent Drive OverFill ,set the options  Also you will want to go into Drive Usage Limiter to set the fill option. If you are using File Placement rules, there is a disk full slider there as well that can be set

Thanks I tried moving a few of the sliders and will see if that works.

Well, normally, it should balance the usage between the two disks, even with a mix of unduplicated and duplicated data.  If it's not, as you add more data, it should.

 

 

If that's not the case, let me know.
