So I've been using Drivepool for almost 10 years now, generally have zero issues. I currently have 24 pooled disks, 2 of which are SSD's that I use for the SSD optimizer. One is 500gb, the other 1TB. The archive drives range in size from 4TB to 14TB. I have them balanced by percentage, so its an even percentage across all disks. Recently out of the blue, changing no settings, One of my 14TB drives is only filling itself to 75% where as all the other drives are at 85.5%. On top of this, to which I think they are connected, both of my SSD cache's are 100% full. I've tried manually pulling the files off the ssd and moving them onto the drive thats not filling correctly, but they just get moved back. Again, I haven't changed any settings, the most I've done is add a few new disks but, the issue happened after that had already been sorted out (I believe) and I've never had an issue adding a disk prior to this. I don't use any placement rules, the only settings I've touched should all be shown here.
Here are my settings, let me know what might be causing this if anyone has any ideas?
This first picture was taken just after manually moving some files off Plex Cache SSD and onto 00-2-2-14TB drive, thats the only reason it isn't currently full.
Next is the 14TB (00-2-2-14TB) drive shown here that is only filling to 75% and the others are all normal.
Here are my main balancing settings
Here is my balancing page for SS Scanner with top priority.
And the next two are my All-In-One plug for balancers showing everything.
I'm not sure what I'm missing. I've tried a few things, looked up a few posts that had similar but not the same issues, their solutions didn't work (like adjusting my main balance ratio to 100%, etc to trigger balances, but nothing). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if I've overlooked something or not included something. Let me know what other information I can provide.
