I have 3 balancers active, plus file placement rules, and I am not seeing the file placement behavior that I expect. The 3 placement rules are: Stablebit Scanner, Prevent Drive Overfill, Ordered File Placement. For file placement rules, i have a couple of entries for recycle bins that I'm ignoring, plus Folder_A which is marked for drives d01-d04 and Folder_B which is marked for drive d05. When I copy directories into Folder_B on the pool, the contents are split between d04 and d05 in a round-robin manner. This does not seem like the expected behavior since the copied files should match the rule for Folder_B and go only to d05 (which is essentially empty, so nowhere near the limits of the Overfill or Placement balancers). Any ideas why it is doing this?
