Hi, We had a BOF on Rebalance at the Gluster Summit to get feedback from Gluster users.
- Performance has improved over the last few releases and it works well for large files. - However, it is still not fast enough on volumes which contain a lot of directories and small files. The bottleneck appears to be the single-threaded filesystem crawl. - Scripts using the fix-layout and file migration virtual xattrs to rebalance volumes which are available via the mount point would be helpful - Rebalance is currently broken on volumes with ZFS bricks (and other FS where fallocate is not available). A fix for this is being worked on [1] and should be ready soon. - The rebalance status output is satisfactory Amar, Susant, Raghavendra, please add if I have missed something. Regards, Nithya [1] https://review.gluster.org/18573
