----------------------------------------------------------------------

[~snazy] In fact, my concern is not really the 2 full disks.... but more why 
can I fill all my disks in 6 minutes without the patch and that with the patch, 
7/9 of my disks are under 60% of usage after 15 minutes? I might be wrong since 
that stuff is new to me..... but is there some *better* compaction/compression 
happening with your patch or was there something wrong happening before? 
Thanks! 

Yes, will try with a *conservative* compaction throughput, like 16mb/s 
(default).

Yes, will try with a *conservative* compaction throughput, like 20mb/s.

> Currently the pick the disks are picked first by number of current tasks, 
> then by free space.  This helps with performance but can lead to large 
> differences in utilization in some (unlikely but possible) scenarios.  Ive 
> seen 55% to 10% and heard reports of 90% to 10% on IRC.  With both LCS and 
> STCS (although my suspicion is that STCS makes it worse since harder to be 
> balanced).
> I purpose the algorithm change a little to have some maximum range of 
> utilization where it will pick by free space over load (acknowledging it can 
> be slower).  So if a disk A is 30% full and disk B is 5% full it will never 
> pick A over B until it balances out.
