Michael (T. Dean), you are correct (in your second reply).  When I
initially started looking into this, I somehow ended up on the 0.26 Myth
How-To wiki page, which doesn't mention the storage group scheduler option
at all.  But after you pointed me at the correct page, I saw that indeed I
was legacy defaulted to the "Combination" method.

Thanks,
Jerry
