I have a quick question regarding Drivepool's use of HDDs and SSDs in the same pool.
My setup is a pool with a mix of HDDs and SSDs. I have my pool set to 2x duplication, and as space on the SSDs is limited, I have file rules set up so that games I am currently playing store one of their duplicates on the SSDs.
However, when running a game, it looks like Drivepool will still try and load some data off of the HDDs, even if the SSDs are idle. Is there a better way to do what I am trying to achieve?
Is there an option to "prefer" reads off of an SSD if the requested file is on one? Would this be difficult to implement? (obviously this would bypass drive busy/active wait time logic)
I dont want to disable duplication for my game data, but if that's the only way to make sure they are loaded off of the SSDs it seems like a sub-optimal compromise to have to make considering all the other complicated logic that Drivepool does
