All correct, but there's a bit more. DSpace will only fill one assetstore at a time. If you don't specify which one, it will continue to fill assetstore.dir. Configure "assetstore.incoming" (by number, as above) to specify which assetstore should receive new submissions' bitstreams. If you were looking to spread new material automatically across two volumes, there is as yet no code to do that. If you expect to store more than will fit on a single physical volume, you might wish to consider using your OS' logical volume facilities to combine physical volumes. Adding an assetstore director with pluggable policy modules would be a nice little project. The first policy module would be the one that looks at assetstore.incoming, to preserve the current behavior. I can see sites wanting policies based on file size, content type, containment path, and the like. -- Mark H.
