I've finished migrating all my drives to ReFS V3.2 but the Balancer has now filled drives leaving 0B Free (and I know bad stuff happens). I can not get the Balancer to free up some room on these full drives. Attached are some Screen Shots of my setup. I'm on 2.2.0.798 Beta. The Setup I'm trying to achieve is:
- Fill up the 7 Drives in Order
- 1 of these drives is a HGST 8TB 7200 (d232f). Any data can be placed on this drive
- 6 of these drives are Segate 8TB Archive Drives and I only want them to have media so have added file placement rules to exclude some directories so they should reside on the HGST only.
When I run "Re-Balance" it goes through each drive, reaches 50% says it is building lists then immediately finishes without moving any files.
I've had this issue before, and had to move data out manually but I presume I've got DP configured incorrectly. Any ideas?
