[mythtv-users] understanding storage group balancing

I've been observing that no recordings are being written to one of my 
directories in my Storage Group - Default.  I have 2 directories defined 
but only one has any files in it. The volume that is getting all the 
recordings has  about 300GB of free space more than the other volume.

df -h shows:

/dev/md1        1.8T  402G  1.4T  24% /mnt/md1
/dev/md0        1.8T  702G  1.1T  41% /mnt/md0

jim at mythbuntu:~$ ls /mnt/md1/recorded-tv2/
10404_20200806103000.ts      11701_20200806110000.ts

jim at mythbuntu:~$ ls /mnt/md0/recorded-tv1/
lost+found
jim at mythbuntu:~$

So my question: is mythtv using the storage group directory that is on 
the volume with the most free disk space?

I was kind of hoping that it would use the 2 directories on different 
volumes to balance the writes for multiple recordings at the same time.
