Hi Adrian, Let's say you want to create a file and server x was selected. Then you want to create another file and the cms looks and says well, all things are roughly equal who should I select? If linger is set to 1 then server x will be selected. If linger is zero or server x was already selected twice in a row, then another server would be selected. The cms.sche has no impact on this behaviour. We put this in way back and no one uses it as far as I know because it's really hard to predict the space allocation pattern and people generally don't like adding extra entropy to the decision making.
