I have a strange issue where Drivepool is unable to move files to meet my file placement rules, despite there being ample free space on all disks. My configuration is really simple:
No duplication
Each directory in my root folder is manually set to be placed on 1 or 2 of my 7 disks. I want to keep related files together (e.g. videos, music, work projects, photo albums, etc)
Balancing settings in attachment - no auto balancing (as I use Snapraid and don't want files moving all the time)
Only using Ordered File Placement balancer that only controls New file placement. This is just to catch files that for whatever reason are not placed according to directory rules)
About 40-50 folder placement rules
All rules allow placement up to 99% full or 12GB free.
All discs have at least 950GB free but every rebalance results in 195GB could not be moved because a suitable destination could not be found. Not annoying in itself and the bar at the bottom of the main window is green. However, every night (more or less) I get the icons to show all disks need rebalancing. Running a rebalance achieves nothing.
I don't see how of my rules can be conflicting, so I'm curious as to what might be causing this. It feels like a bug.
