Comment:

 This doesn't appear to take into account filesystems which are not
 accessible on the master backend, it only does a CheckFile() looking for
 the file.  That needs to be taken into account before it can be committed.
 I also would want this to be an option.  I see 2 main balancing ideas
 behind Storage Groups.  The current mode is to balance I/O load across
 filesystems, that takes precendence over disk space.  This mode will make
 disk space and expirable recordings take precedence over I/O (weight) on a
 filesystem.  I think that there should be an option to control these two
 modes.  I think this second mode should set the starting weight of local
 filesystems to 0 and might want to sort the directories by free space
 first then by weight.

 If you want to discuss further, reply on the mailing list.  I'm all for
 adding a feature like this, but don't want it to take away from current
 "balance the I/O load" functionality for those that still prefer the
 current mode (like myself).
