I found myself in a situation whereby I could not decide what type of configuration I should choose for my mergerfs pooling. I eventually went for "least space" so my drives will fill up one by one and hopefully the ones not in use will be "sleeping" ie in standby. Is that possible to watch a movie in my tv room that is being streamed to the media player and the movie is on disk #1 of my pool? Interesting to hear how others configure their system and why. Roll with it ppl.

What is your Mergerfs configuration

I use mfs with direct_io flag added. And I have had the same movie file playing on three sources without issues.

What is this direct io flag? Is that set from the cli?

Sorry if I sound stupid, but do I just run that line in my command line? how do you disable it again?
QuoteYou can already do this by adding OMV_FSTAB_MNTOPS_MERGERFS="defaults,allow_other,direct_io" to /etc/default/openmediavault and then running omv-mkconf fstab.
