I'm hoping someone can point out WTF it is that I'm doing wrong (if anything) when configuring DrivePool to use the SSD Optimizer. Here's my scenario:
- Five physical drives, all HDD's, 1x4TB, 1x8TB, 3x2TB.
- Pool duplication is set to x2 across the board.
- I have no rules set in File Placement.
- Every drive has one logical partition used for DrivePool except two of the 2TB drives, which each have a 150GB "landing zone" partition defined.
- In SSD Optimizer, I have the two LZ partitions marked as "SSD", the other drives/partitions are "Archive". This is per other posts and the note on the SSD Optimizer indicating two SSD drives are needed if x2 duplication is enabled.
- After configuring the SSD Optimizer, there are arrows under each partition on the main screen indicating that the new file placement limit for all Archive partitions is "0.0%", and all SSD partitions is non-zero.
(It's currently showing 90.0% which was the setting before I did a Reset All on the balancers and went with the default of 75% for troubleshooting purposes).
For some reason, with the above configuration, no matter what I do DrivePool insists on dropping all new files on the 8TB drive, instead of on the two defined SSD partitions. Is there something obvious that I'm missing to make this work right, or is there legitimately something wrong with the program and/or my installation causing a problem?
