I have two storage directories of vastly different sizes (1 TB SSD
and 10+TB spinning RAID1). I had them both in default group and
balancing algorithm as "combined" with default setting. I thought
that myth is smart and will figure out and favor SSD over spinning
disk when possible. That did not work. So, I changed the algorithm
to "Balanced free percent" and was hoping it will keep about the
same % of free space in both disks. I noticed today that SSD has
about 13% (96G) use (87% (660G) free) and spinning disks have about
94% (12T) use (6% (770G) free). This means next recording should go
to SSD. However, it is now writing to my spinning disks. What did I
do wrong?<br>

Myth: 31+fixes from debian-multimedia
(31.0+fixes20201214.gite9b795a1e4-dmo0~bpo10+1 as per apt)<br>
<br>
I only changed the storage priorities yesterday and the new
recording is the first one after that. Do I need to wait or reboot
after changing storage balancing algorithm before it takes effect?<br>
