I am trying to organize all my movie files on specific HDDs in my DrivePool. In File Placement, I have checked the HDDs where the movie files should go. I removed one HDD from the DrivePool to force these movie files into the correct HDDs. That seemed to work. When the HDD removal was complete, I added it back to DrivePool and made sure that the movies File Placement was unchecked for the empty drive. However, when I add new movie files to DrivePool, all the new movie files are going directly to the empty HDD which is not part of the File Placement rule!? There is more than enough room on the existing HDDs to take the movie files where I want them in the File Placement rule.
Any idea why this is happening? Any way to force move the movie files to the designated HDDs in File Placement - either automatically by DrivePool or manually if I must? Thanks for any suggestions.
