Folder Setup:
Database: C:\BlueIris\db
Alerts: c:\BlueIris\Alerts (Managed Folder, Unmanaged Drive) 1GB [Delete]
New: d:\BlueIris\New (Managed Folder, Unmanaged Drive) 6000GB allocated to BI / 7.27TB Total [Move to Stored]
Stored: e:\BlueIris\Stored (Managed Folder, Unmanaged Drive) 6000GB allocated to BI/ 7.27TB Total [Move to Aux_1]
Aux_1: g:\BlueIris\Stored (Managed Folder, Unmanaged Drive) 13000GB allocated to BI/ 14.5TB Total [Move to Aux_2]
Aux_2: h:\BlueIris\Stored (Managed Folder, Unmanaged Drive) 13000GB allocated to BI/ 14.5TB Total [Move to Aux_3]
Aux_3: i:\BlueIris\Stored (Managed Folder, Unmanaged Drive) 13000GB allocated to BI/ 14.5TB Total [Delete]
New, Stored, and Aux folders are used only for BI and no other folders/files exist on those drives.
Limit Clip Age is disabled on all folders.
C drive is an SSD drive for OS and BI Alerts/Database only. No footage stored on C drive.
Drives D, E, G, H, and I are Purple surveillance drives.
42 Total Cameras
26 Cameras recording continuous
Cameras that are recording continuous are generating a 4GB file about every hour in the New folder.
Even though BI is supposed to be managing the disk space by moving files around, and I can see the files being moved around both in the logs and on the disk, the D drive where the New folder is stored is running out of disk space on a regular basis. From what I can see, the D drive is filling up faster with video files faster than the BI disk management process can move the files between drives to free up space on the D drive for more video files.
I've seen multiple posts in various BI forums where people are assigning each camera to a specific drive/folder and setting the folders to Delete instead of Moving files from one folder to the next.
I've also seen suggestions to create a large Storage Space out of the multiple Purple drives to expose them to BI as one large drive.
Open to any and all suggestions on this setup regarding the issue of the New drive/folder filling up, and any follow-up questions anyone may have.
Thank you.
