Hi. I'm trialing this excellent looking piece of software at the moment.. I had a 4 drive storage pool running on MS storage spaces - with parity. I plan to move this to a 3 drive StableBit DrivePool and leave one of my disks out of the pool for SnapRAID. It's only a media server, so the data doesn't change enough to warrant parity-on-the-fly. My question is about balancing. I'd like the "Volume Equalization" behaviour to occur when the data is first written to the pool, but I don't really want DrivePool to be rebalancing automatically. Rebalancing like this would kill my parity and it'd have to reconstruct it from scratch every time. So my question is; can SBDP do this? Just apply the balance rule ONCE to keep things roughly equalized as data is written to the pool? Thanks for this excellent piece of software - expect another paying customer very soon! paul
