Nicolas:

Thank you very much for this! Looks like exactly what I was looking for... The first burst was somewhat frightening but it ended well and now no storage domain is overused :)

One quick question: Is it possible to limit balancing to more than one datacenter? I have 3 datacenters and I'd like to exclude one of them. I see the DATACENTER config variable could do this but I'm not sure how to define more than one datacenter.

Thanks

Hi Jason,

A time ago I wrote a "Storage Balancer" exactly for that, move disks
between storage domains to keep them below a maximum threshold of
occupation. You can find the project at [1].

It's not perfect but has been working for us for the last 3 years with
no issues.

That won't avoid people storing new disks in the first available storage
domain, but the balancer will distribute them between the less occupied
storage domains afterwards.

Hope this helps,

Nicolás
