I would like to thank everybody for their assistance over the past year, this board has sure been some help.
Well now I'm stuck. Over the past year I have managed to get about 7 hdd's full of media, to the point it has clogged up my network, so in the past week I have built an unRaid server. It's all completed and I'm stuck on the settings. I want it optimized for XBMC, but everyone seems to pay attention to the build and glosses over the settings. Currently I have 2 shares, Movies and TV, and that's where it ends.
I think that the Allocation Method should be Highwater.
I think I should set the Min Free Space to 40000000 for my Movies shares, I don't do many Blu-Ray and I'm thinking maybe 15000000 for TV, but I question this because of large series like MASH or Matlock. Really these are just guesses on my part.
My guesses for Split Level for Movies would be 3 for Movies as my file structure is Movies>Movie(date)>movie.mkv and my Slit Level for TV would be 4 as my file structure is TV>Program>Seasons>Episodes.
Again these are only guesses on my part, my goal would be to keep my in such a way that XBMC don't have to hunt my entire array to play a movie or TV program. What would be my best bet?
I haven't even got to my Music yet...
