I'm running Drivepool 2.3.2.1493 on Windows 11 Pro. I just inserted a new drive into my pool today, with 4 other existing drives.
After insertion, balancing began and all of the other drives basically zeroed out their unduplicated files and have them set to move to the new drive. I didn't make much note of it, but this kind of happened with the last new drive I inserted. It had most of the of unduplicated files after balancing when it was inserted. Now this drive, with most of the unduplicated files is set to move all of its un-dup files to the new drive.
I don't have any balancing settings that would put all of the unduplicated files on 1 drive. Disk space equalizer is set to percentage based and both equalize for un-dup and dup are checked. Drive usage limiter has dup and un-dup checked for all drives.
On another Windows 11 machine my Drivepool there is fine. Unduplicated files are split in a move even way between the 3 drives in that pool, and the last time I added a new drive it balanced in a more equal way and when I removed that drive the un-dup/dup files rebalanced pretty equally.
The un-duplicated files are not a few large files, they are many smaller files from client backups, so they should be easy to spread equally across the drives.
Any pointers on what I may be doing wrong or any advice or any known issues?
