Unbalance

Overview

Unbalanced is a powerful Unraid plugin designed to simplify the management of your disk space by facilitating the transfer of files and folders within your array. With its dual operating modes, Scatter and Gather, Unbalanced allows users to either distribute data across multiple disks or consolidate it onto a single disk, making it a versatile solution for various data management tasks. Whether you're looking to reorganize your media collection or prepare a disk for a filesystem change, Unbalanced provides the tools needed to efficiently manage disk space.
