"So what"  :-)  (maybe that just seems easy to me because I've been doing
it forever).  I've found in recent years that "balanced" is a meaningless
term as the capacity of the drives is MUCH greater than needed, and the
drive will reach I/O saturation at a point before it's near full...

so my spools don't necessarily have to run at 90% cap.  :-)

However I will point out that you definitely want alt.binaries* on a
separate disk or ccd device.
