I have a pool consisting of six 10 TB cloud drives with triple redundancy. It's running low on space so I'd like to add some more drives for more space. However, I want to make sure that the drive balancer doesn't try to move data from the existing drives to the new, empty ones as that will use a lot of unnecessary bandwidth. I'd just like the new drives to fill up as data is added to the pool. I also have an SSD as part of the pool using the SSD optimizer. As I understand it the SSD optimizer uses the balancer to move files from the SSD to the other drives in the pool, I'd like to retain this functionality without the balancer trying to rebalance the entire pool. What settings should I be using to achieve my goals?
