Thanks for the answer, My problem is slightly different, let say that I have 6 storage point and i have 4 files/blocks to insert in the filesystem, i would like that these blocks will be placed in 4 different storage points, and of course i would like to do the same for all the next 4 blocks. I'm not interested to the replicas for the moment. Thanks
