Hello. I found weird situation of\* Directory Layout\*. (I use ElasticSearch 0.90.0BETA) We use 3 different 300GB hard disk in one node, and our index.store.distributor setting is least\_used However, we found that index data is always wrote on the hard disk which is set as last order of path.data. For example.. if path.data setting is like below...(each folder data1,data2,data3 are mount address of three HDD) - path.data: /root/elasticsearch/data/data1, /root/elasticsearch/data/data2, /root/elasticsearch/data/data3\* - - _...then its indexing progress looks like below_ \* \* \*/dev/xvdc1 309633052 0 309633052 0 % /root/elasticsearch/data/data1 \* _/dev/xvde1 309633052 0 309633052 0 % /root/elasticsearch/data/data2_ _/dev/xvdf1 309633052 75066488 218838128 26% /root/elasticsearch/data/data3_ if I changed path.data like below.... - path.data: /root/elasticsearch/data/data1, /root/elasticsearch/data/data3, /root/elasticsearch/data/data2\* - - \*then the Use% of \*_/root/elasticsearch/data/data2 become grow._ \* \* _As I know, Elastic Search insert the indexed documents to least used space. but it always input last positioned data location of path.data setting..._ \* \* _What should I do with this situation?_ _Am I need to do something other settings?_ \* \* I wait for some helpful answer for this... best regards. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Could you post the output of this command: curl "localhost:9200/\_nodes/stats?clear=true&fs=true&pretty=true" and your elasticsearch.yml file somewhere?
