Why are my drives being balanced like this?

[comu]

Hi,

I have 2x duplication enabled and recently replaced a 1TB drive with a 12TB drive. So now I have 1 x 12TB, 2 x 2TB and 2 x 1TB drives. I was expecting the 12TB drive to act as the "main" drive as it's the largest in capacity, so every file on there would be duplicated on all the other smaller capacity drives. Is that what is going to happen here?

I moved the Duplication Space Optimizer to the top but everything else is unchanged. I restarted the process a few times and currently it is at 4% completion.

Edit:

Before these screenshots, it removed everything out of WR4-1-1. I aborted it and selected re-calculate duplication (or something). Now it is currently rebalancing and it looks to be removing everything out of WB1-1 and copying it into S12-1.

Thanks!

I'd expect it to (eventually) have all duplicated files have one of the duplicates on the new drive, yes. Though I'd still recommend putting the Scanner balancer as highest priority.
