Does forced_video_storage_path_prefix failover if full?

Does forced_video_storage_path_prefix failover to another recording path if the path it's forced to is full?
I can't find this information anywhere and would prefer to not find out when the event happens.

Thanks,

it didnt for me a while back when I ran out of room, it started to delete videos in that path set to the encoder, to make room for the new recordings.

I'm sure there is a setting but I can't remember it now. but since I lost a lot of shows, I just keep an eye out how much is left once a week.

That sucks. Seems like there should be a
forced_video_storage_path_act_normal_when_full
property or something.

I have 4 HD tuners all pointing to their own drive, but they don't fill up at the same rate. I'd rather take the chance that I get a little stuttering rather than loose recordings. Oh well.

I also really wish there was a better way to distribute recordings amongst drives. I too am forcing 5 HD tuners to 5 separate RAID 1 mirrors and have the same issue with the drives not filling up at the same rate. Maybe if enough people ask for it there could be a modification to the algorithm of how Sage chooses drives to record to when there are more than one concurrent recordings.
