There is no problem with that. The parameters for each file/directory are set according to the tahoe.cfg of the uploading gateway at the time of the upload. Rebalancing, i.e. changing the parameters of existing files and putting shares in the optimal places, is less automatic than we would like it to be. Currently I think the easiest way to do that is to copy a directory tree from the grid to a local filesystem and then copy it back (to a new directory on the grid), then delete the original tree and allow its shares to expire. (Note that 'tahoe cp' directly from one grid directory to another will not have the desired effect, because the new tree will link to the old immutable files.) -- David-Sarah Hopwood ⚥ http://davidsarah.livejournal.com
