I just started my trial period with Drivepool and have a question regarding the duplication and balancing strategy.
I currently have
2 x 8 TB
2 x 4TB
4 x 2 TB
drives in my pool.
The 4 and 8 TB drives all have data on them and i succesfully imported the existig data to the pool.
Now i want to dupicate all data which is about 12 TB.
Which drives does the duplication process prefer to put the copies on?
Does it use the strategy of "most absolute free space" or does it honor the rules set for the balancers?
I will be using the disk space equalizer with the percentage based settig as my balancer.
None of the duplication data is currently written to any of the empty 2 TB drives so now a lot of data is written just to be completely rebalanced afterwards.

Is it somehow possible to influence this?
