Seems like these should be more equal, otherwise, if you had a lot of SU mounted FS's, you could possibly deny service for a long time. It's been another minute now, and still no blocks freed up on /d/d0. newsfeed-inn# df ; sleep 120 ; df /dev/twed3d 524698116 524697730 386 100% /d/d0 /dev/twed4d 524698116 503964018 20734098 96% /d/d1 ... /dev/twed3d 524698116 524697730 386 100% /d/d0 /dev/twed4d 524698116 493186018 31512098 94% /d/d1 Seems like it should round-robin them or something.
