Index Location \ New Indexes

Just to add, with 64bit Indexes, if you close off any Index locations no more data is written to it full stop, even if you have existing index folders which arent full, if the index location is closed and EV needs to index new items for that Archive it will find a new Index location and create a new folder there.

This was introduced due to sitiuations in EV9 and lower where customers would get close to the limit of the Index Volume they had setup, close the location and expect EV to stop Indexing to it, yet in that instance if there was an active Index Volume in that location it would still continue adding until the Index Volume (not drive space) reached its limit then it would create the new Index folder in any of the Open Index locations.

As that was the case sometimes customers cut it a bit close and would find themselves running out of space on the drive, then needing to move Indexes to make space.

So bottom line is, if you close a location in EV10 and upwards EV will immediately only index to the open locations and ONLY the open locations, the closed locations will be just that, closed (readonly).
