Hi,
on our B2D library there is one mount path since weeks full.
 

Mount path usage is set to “Spill and Fill”.
Why is that path full?

Regards

Dennis

Hi ​@Dennis,

Spill and Fill will round-robin between mount paths, regardless of how much space is available. If you want to balance usage as well, you also need to set the option "Prefer mount paths with more free space” that is available with the spill and fill option. If you set this option, usage should balance out over time when data is aged on fuller mount paths and data is written to mount paths with more free space.

Library Properties (Mount Paths)

 

You can also tweak this mount path usage balancing using the media management setting “Free space difference in GB to consider preferring mount paths with more free space”. 

Media Management Configuration: Resource Manager

Kind regards,

Paul
