  1. Just because I want to be explicitly clear:

     

    It does write to the SSD drive fine. But when moving files to the archive drives, it seems to be moving files to one disk at a time, rather than spreading them out. 

     

    And you are NOT using file placement rules. 

     

     

    Correct? 

     

     

    If that's correct, check two things:

    • Are these drives all the same size? 

      Or are some larger than others?

      • If some of the drives are larger than the others, then this is absolutely normal, as files are placed on the disk with the most absolute free space available, not the highest percentage of free space. 

        Meaning if you have a 3TB, 4TB and 5TB drive, it will fill the 5TB first, with ~1TB of data. Then it will start filling the 4TB and 5TB until the 4TB is 1TB full and the 5TB is 2TBs full, and then it will start filling all three drives. 

        This may be what you're seeing, and if it is, it's normal. 

    • Check to see if any other balancers are in use. If there are, this can cause issues, as the SSD Optimizer balancer is highly specialized and could conflict with other balancers. 

     

    Regardless, I've already flagged the issue for Alex (the developer), to see if he can see what is going on here.

    Yes, that is Correct.

     

    1) All the drives are the same size

    2) No other balancers are in use

  2. I am trying to get the SSD Cache drive to move files to the Archive Drive with the most free space.

     

    I have 1 SSD and no duplication.

     

    Currently the files move from the SSD Cache to only the top drive listed in "Drives" under the SSD Optimizer.

    Ordered Placement is not checked.

  3. Thanks, but that does not solve the problem.  I want all files to go to the SSD cache drive.  Right now files from the SSD cache are being automatically balanced to only 1 disk, instead of spreading them out across multiple.

  4. Hello,

    I have been using DrivePool for a while and it has been working great. Recently I started using the SSD Optimizer plugin.  It is also working great except when it comes to file placement on drives.  All the files I copy to the drivepool appear to be copying to only one disk now instead of whichever disk has the most free space.  Is there something that needs to be done in order for this to work correctly again? Thanks.
