Just initialize shards when problems but no rebalance

You could do this, but it's a lot of manual overhead to have to deal with.
However ES does have some disk space awareness during allocation, take a
look at

Hi is there any setting that I can put to ES that it automatically assigns
shards that are unassigned but never ever rebalance the cluster?
I´ve found several issues when rebalancing and prefer to do it manually.
If I set cluster.routing.allocation.enable to "none" nothing happens.
If I set it to "all" then it starts rebalancing.

Is it ok to combine cluster.routing.allocation.allow_rebalance to "none"
and cluster.routing.allocation.enable to "all".

The issue is mainly because we are running low on disk and when that
happens elasticsearch removes all shards from an instance, that doesn´t
care about cluster.routing.allocation.cluster_concurrent_rebalance and
starts moving shards like crazy around the entire cluster, filling the
storage on other instances in the way that it will never stop balancing.

Kind regards
