Feature request, multi drive scatter
ltomes opened this issue · 2 comments
I don't see a lot of discussion on this so maybe it's not a high demand feature.
Feature:
Is a multi drive scatter something that is feasible with the rsync features unbalance uses today? If not would it be appropriate to change the checkbox to a radio button?
(My) use case:
When I use scatter I am normally clearing multiple drives that are aging out.
Scattering one drive at a time is a bit rough since it's a 20+ hour task for 6tb+ drives in my configuration and there's a lot of downtime between drives/it would be awesome to be able to select multiple drives to scatter/do one large action.
Thanks for your time and happy holidays,
Hi thanks for the request ! Happy holidays !
This would complicate the current logic quite a bit, the reason is the code assumes there's one source drive in scatter operations.
It's not likely that I will implement it (PRs are welcome), but if I happen to find some down time in the future, I may look into it.
will not be working on this myself, i will accept a pr though
