Beta 5905:
I have a drive (D:) that is nearly full. So full that it can't even be defragged any more. However, DP made it this way, and will not move some of the files over to one of the other drives. As you can see, there's plenty of room, even though duplication is on. I understand that DP always goes to the drive with the most space now, but what about "legacy" balances. 
Seems like it would be handy for DP to either re-address space usage on occasion, or allow us a way to force some of the files off of a congested drive (I'm flashing back to WHSv1!).
Seems like it would be handy for DP to either re-address space usage on occasion, or allow us a way to force some of the files off of a congested drive (I'm flashing back to WHSv1!).It seems reasonable that If I poked around on the drive, identified enough files to make more room, and then deleted them from the share (to get rid of both copies) and then re-loaded them it might balance on it's own, but that's a lot of work, and I'm lazy enough to suggest an alternative.

Alot of space on some drives and a few that give low space warning. I built my new 2011 system, copied over all my movies (10 TB), then turned on duplication.
