Hi,
I have a query on rebalancing.
let's consider following is my folder hierarchy.
parent1-fol (parent folder)
|_
class-fol-1 ( 1 st level subfolder)
|_
A ( 2 nd level subfolder)
|_
childfol-1 (child folder created
every time before writing files)
Now, I have a running cluster with 3.10.1 with disperse volume and I am
planning to expand cluster by adding bricks.
will there be a problem using newly added bricks without doing a "rebalance
fix layout" other than existing files cannot be rebalanced to new brick and
files created under existing folder will not go to new brick?.
I tested above case in my test setup and observed files created under new
folder goes to new brick. and I don't see any issue on listing files and
folder.
so, My case is we create child folder every time before creating files.
The reason to avoid rebalance is I have more than 10000 folders across 1080
bricks. so triggering rebalance will take a long time and in my
previous expansion in 3.7 was not able to access some folders randomly
until fix layout completes.
regards
Amudhan
