Index Location \ New Indexes

Hi all,

Not a major issue, a question really.

I'm aware of the Open\Closed state you can give an Index location. However is there a setting somewhere that defines where new indexes are placed? At the moment they are randomly spread across all of the locations.

The reason i ask is that i currently have 16 index locations spread across 2 drives 8 in each, I don't want to close drive 1 off but would like only new Indexes to be created on drive 2, leaving 1 and the 8 locations still open for current index data to be written too.

Hope that makes sense.

Just dont like the idea of indexes for archives being spread over 2 logical locations.

Regards
