A file system with a weight of N will appear N times in the vector. At any time the next file system to use is the next entry in the vector. When the last entry has been used, the DPM starts again with the first.
The input_file contains one line per filesystem. Each line must contain the triplet server fs weight and an optional status.
dskserver1 fs0 8 dskserver1 fs1 3 dskserver1 fs2 5 dskserver2 fs0 5 dskserver2 fs1 0 dskserver2 fs2 4 dskserver3 fs0 5 dskserver3 fs1 5
The program output would be:
