I have been using Swar for quite some time, and it's working mostly as intended being an excellent plotting manager for Chia. However I obeserved that the "skip_full_destinations" function has a potential issue: when manager stopped due to insufficent space on destination drive, disk space that going to be taken by then-current running plots are not counted towards the calculation of needed space on destination drive.
For example, if there are 6 running unfinished plots and destination drive have less than 100GB of space, manager would stop as designed and won't add a 7th plot. But these 6 existing plots will proceed till finish and try to copy to the destination drive in Phase 5, which obviously won't succeed due to not enough space on the destination drive.
Other than that, in my specific configuration I have encountered another werid issue related to this. I have an external hard drive that is mounted to /mnt/dest, in Swar config destination location is also set to the same. Say the drive is full and I need to swap a new drive in, what I did is to unmount the existing full drive from /mnt/dest and mount the new drive to the same mounting point, hoping that this will make those plots stuck in phase 5 start copying plots to the new drive mounted to the same mounting point. But the fact is, it will start copying to the very same location /mnt/dest but under /home drive. I know it must be something that I misunderstood about Ubuntu's file system/mounting mechanism, but I can't find any information about this after hours of researching.
Thanks all in advance and hope to get an answer from our fellow Chia farmers.

Hi all,
