According to the code (you actually read and believed the docs? :-):
/* find the holdingdisk with the fewest active dumpers and among
* those the one with the biggest free space
So you should not have any trouble using all three as a "pool".
It might work even better if you set the holding disk chunksize down
so they can be split up into pieces and scattered around.
What "docs" did you find the round-robin described? I seem to remember
seeing that, too, but can't find it now and would like to get it updated.
