If you have a dev class of type FILE with multiple directories, how does
TSM determine which dir to create a new volumes in?

I've checked everywhere I can think of and the most I can find is comments
that TSM is free to  pick any dir to create a new scratch vol in. Assuming
lots of free space in multiple directories specified for one dev class
type file,  how does TSM pick which dir to create a file dev in?

What I'm interested in is one of those "what if" questions.  If you have a
file dev class (NFS) on a dedup box and its getting full.  So you purchase
a new box, set it up, and add it to the devclass as an extra directory.
You now have two directories.  If one is full TSM will use the other, but
if both have freespace I'm curious how TSM decides which to use.

Just curious . . .
