I've discovered the Ordered File Placement (OFP) plug-in doesn't work as I was hoping...
I have disabled all the other balancers/plug-ins with only Scanner and OFP active. In OFP, I set to use all drive space except for 1GB.
It seems this causes an issue when, for example, there is still 3GB of space available on HDD1 but you attempt to copy a 4GB file to the pool. It returns a "not enough disk space" error - even though the pool has TBs of free space.
Since DrivePool is waiting until the last 1GB on HDD1, it does not automatically engage HDD2, in the pool, as the target for the 4GB file.
This would be a great plug-in (being able to sequentially add HDDs over time), if it had a bit more inbuilt smarts/logic.
Is there any chance this plug-in can be enhanced/updated?
