If you're more comfortable doing so, please post in whatever language you are more familiar with. 

 

 

As for the "Drive Empting" option:

If you mean in the "File Placement settings", it is basically asking if you want the the rules to be respected even if a disk is being emptied by a balancer.

I believe it means that if more free space is found on other drives, (such as if you add a new disk), it will empty the drive up to that amount (as in, clear enough so that is how full it is). 

 

 

I'm not 100% sure about that, so I've flagged Alex (the developer) to confirm.

Okay, specifically:

 

When a drive exceeds capacity (90% full by default), it will be emptied to (85% full by default).
 
Drive fill options control the 90%, while drive emptying controls the 85%.
 
Basically it allows the balancer to leave a buffer between the emptying and the filling.
