min_clusters is signed integer and will be converted to unsigned integer when compared with unsigned number stats.free_clusters. If min_clusters is negative, it will be converted to a huge unsigned value in which case all groups may not meet the actual desired free clusters. Set negative min_clusters to 0 to avoid unexpected behavior.
