Disk used for Directory

[GiuseppeChillemi]

Hi, is there a way to tell Drive Pool one or more of the following ?

 

"This directory should be on a standalone drive, do no use the free space until the other drives are full"

When extending it to a another drive, try the same strategy"

 

Then the optimizer whould act accordingly overnight when the drives free space or directories dimension changes or rules change.

I'm not sure what your asking here, it's not exactly clear.

 

However, the "Ordered File Placement" balancer plugin will cause the pool to fill up one disk at a time (or two, with duplication). And it attempts to keep the contents of a folder on the same disk.

ALso, the "File Placement Rules" feature of StableBit DrivePool 2.X allows you to specify that a folder or files ends up on a specific disk.

Some directories are bigger than one drive.

Drive poll, once started filling the second one should try to maintain the drive with only data coming from this directory until there is no space left on the other drives and there the need for this free space.

Same policy for the first drive: use free space for other data only if there is no space left on other drives.
