-There's not currently anything to automate this. I sometimes do it
-manually, eg noticing that drive A is nearly full and `git-annex move --to
-B` of some of its files to free up space. 
-
-That's generally when I need space on drive A for some other purpose
-than that git-annex repo. If drive A is only being used for the one
-git-annex repo, then it doesn't much matter if it fills up before drive B?
-So maybe setting annex.diskreserve to some sufficiently large size in that
-repo on the drive would be better, so there's always space reserved for the
-other things the drive is being used for.
-
-[[design/balanced_preferred_content]] is an old attempt at designing
-a way to automate balancing between drives. Never quite got implemented,
-because of the limitations documented in it.
-It might be that it would work well enough for some use cases?
-
-I'd welcome thoughts on this topic.
