I just purchased drivepool and have just started using it. So far, I have 2x 10TB drives in my array, and I'm copying data from my 16TB qnap (ext4) to my pool. I have about 40TB of additional hard drives to add, which are all full, essentially 100%. I have the "ordered file placement" plugin, as I'd rather the files be placed sequentially on each drive so that in case anything fails it's easier to replace the data on one given drive.
My question is this - how do I add my full drives so that drivepool doesn't move files around on that drive/in the pool, and just leave them where they are? Do I just move each new "full" drive to the top of the "ordered file placement" plugin?
I'm just getting used to the software and I'm not entirely sure how to configure everything properly. Thanks!
