Hi, so I'm using DrivePool with SnapRAID and I added a few drives a few months ago and plan on adding more in the future.
My small issue is that new drives are getting filled with all the new files which makes the combined performance of those files worse than if they were all across the drives.
Imagine having 8 drives filled at 20%, and I add 2 more drives. So now the new files are only on the 2 drives until they reach 20%. I'd much rather have new files on all 10 of them roughly evenly and I can do some manual balancing safely if needed.
So how can I do this, this being basically a round-robin sort of file placement across all disks regardless of available capacity?
