When I first made the pool, nothing balanced and I had turned off my computer after this
Upon turning my PC back on, automatic balancing started and now random files are getting placed onto the drive with more free space. And the percentage complete of the balancing is taking a looooooong time. Basically .1 percent every 7-10 mins.
Is this by design? Why didn't it balance when I first created the pool? Do I just have to wait for it which seems like it will take some time? What happens when I add a new drive? Same thing?
Also, I have a large movies folder and for some reason it looks like it is moving the actual movie folder but also leaving an empty folder on the drive the movie was originally on.
Any help would be appreciated. I know this seems like a rant. Just new to it all really.
UPDATE
It finally finished. Took around 17 hours. :\
The issue with the movies folder still stands. Here's an example
Folder: Drive (2011) - Movie inside of this folder. Originally on Drive #1
When the balancer started running it copied this entire folder and moved it to Drive #2 but.......it left the folder Drive (2011) with no movie inside of it on Drive #1.
It did this to multiple other movies as well.
I'm assuming this is all by design but it's just super weird to have a wasted folder with nothing in it.
