 When using multiple disks of different sizes the new recording is not
 always placed on the disk which has the lowest priority files to  be
 expired.

 This patch adds a new pass to the placement algorithm which simulates
 expiring the old files in the users required order.  When a partion is
 found with enough space that partition is selected for the new file.

 pass 1: As before - find any partition with enough space to fit the file
 pass 2: simulate expiration until a partition is found with enough space
 pass 3: (old pass 2) - find any partition that will take the file.

 I've tested this patch for over a month (it takes that long) with 1   TB
 and 1 500 GB disk.
