Message: <blockquote data-quote="fdlsys" data-source="post: 671812" data-attributes="member: 2310">You are correct, my objective is not constraining the files within Drive:\folder but intentionally spreading them across the drives and copies of \folder.I would like to have %-based policy because that is the only way (that I'm aware of) to relatively uniformly spread the writes (and consequently reads) across mixed size drives. Spreading the files uniformly across the drives mitigates the risk of total loss of one folder (and subfolders). I do have a full mirror redundancy in place (two RSynced servers) and I believe that my concept of limiting the loss works well in this scenario - even if both servers lose a drive at the same time, chances are that majority of files will be reinstated from the surviving drives of both servers.As you said, MFS policy will keep filling the biggest drive(s) until it's remaining free space equals the next smaller drive(s) and only then start spreading across. Thanks for that "getattr" pointer. I remember seeing it mentioned on the Net but I had no idea what it applied to. I already implemented (in fstab, mergerfs mount directive) it so let's see how Kodi behaves.Great piece of software Antonio and your quick support should be a standard for all :2thumbs:</blockquote>
