Hello, My kafka deploy has 5 servers with 3 log disks each. Over the weekend I noticed that on 2 of the 5 servers the partitions appear to be imbalanced amongst the log.dirs.
``` kafka3 /var/lib/kafka/disk1 3 /var/lib/kafka/disk2 3 /var/lib/kafka/disk3 3 kafka5 /var/lib/kafka/disk1 3 /var/lib/kafka/disk2 4 /var/lib/kafka/disk3 2 kafka1 /var/lib/kafka/disk1 3 /var/lib/kafka/disk2 3 /var/lib/kafka/disk3 3 kafka4 /var/lib/kafka/disk1 4 /var/lib/kafka/disk2 2 /var/lib/kafka/disk3 3 kafka2 /var/lib/kafka/disk1 3 /var/lib/kafka/disk2 3 /var/lib/kafka/disk3 3 ``` You can see that 5 and 4 are both unbalanced. Is there a reason for that? The partitions themselves are pretty much perfectly balanced, but the directory chosen for them is not. Is this an anti-pattern to be using multiple log.dirs per server?
