Hello,

 since I also have noticed those files, could you please clarify (or
point me to the proper documentation) what 'hashed subvolumes' and
'non hashed subvolumes' are?

 When you say rebalance you mean a fix-layout or a full rebalance with
data migration? Should I plan to issue a rebalance request periodically
to get rid of those files?


Thank you very much in advance for your attention,
Best regards
