Fix new directory pack allocation, and distribute files more evenly #2142

Closed larsbrinkhoff closed 1 year ago

larsbrinkhoff commented 1 year ago

This makes one bug fix, and one enhancement:

  1. When creating a new directory, the QSALLO field was not updated. This results in a random value being left, which confuses the file disk pack allocation later. -1 means the directory has no allocation, so files can be put on any pack.
  2. Update the file disk pack allocation to cycle through packs, which gives a more even distribution.

Fixes #2049.
