I'm having some problems with the Ordered File Placement plugin. The following is based on testing with ONLY the Ordered File Placement plugin, no other plugins enabled.
1) OFP plugin seems to ignore "Or this much free space" GB value under "Do not fill drives above". I've tested this many different ways. If I set Do not fill drives above=99% and Or this much free space=500GB, and I have only 100GB free on that disk, balancer will still place files on that disk even though it shouldn't because <500GB of space is free.
2) If Disk1 exceeds Do not fill drives above=90%, and OFP begins to place files on Disk2, then if I delete 200GB of files from Disk1 and it is back below free space threshhold, OFP will not switch back to Disk1 dynamically when placing new files - it just keeps filling Disk2. Only if I manually I restart the Stablebit Drivepool service will it switch back to Disk1.
3) If I change the "Do not fill drives above" percentage from the default 90% to any other value and click SAVE, the little orange arrows on the dashboard for each pooled disk stay stuck at either 90% or 0%, they dont reflect the saved value. This may or not be limited to a GUI/cosmetic issue, as I've been trying to figure out if the balancer is using the new value internally despite what the GUI shows.
