I have a batch of older drives in my pool of which two recently started to fail. I bought all of these together and I want to reduce the work needed to recover my unduplicated files next time (couldn't evacuate the drive using DrivePool, it was too far gone, but managed to recover my data).
So I figured I would restrict the older drives to only contain duplicated data and I set this in the balancer "Drive Usage Limiter" plugin (unchecked "unduplicated"). How can I force DrivePool to move all data according to these new rules? Do I need to use "Ordered File Placement" instead?
