Account Placement

When servers are connected, the Add User form on the master asks: Which server should the account be created on?

The choices

Each candidate shows its disk use, RAM use and account count, so the choice can be checked against the numbers.

How Automatic chooses

1. Servers that cannot take a new account are skipped, each with its reason: Maintenance, Not accepting, Not responding, No data yet or Disk nearly full (above the server's disk threshold).
2. The remaining servers are ranked by disk use plus RAM use; the one with the most free room wins.
3. On a tie, the server with fewer accounts wins.

CPU is left out on purpose: it changes from second to second and would make the choice random. If no server is suitable, the form says so.
