Hi Tomo, gluster volume rebalance will re-distribute data only when the destination server/brick has higher available space (also taking into account the file to be migrated) than the source server/brick. This is done to maintain a balance across the bricks/servers. A force option would bypass

Why don't you have KVM running on the Gluster bricks as well? We have a 4 node cluster (each with 4x 300GB 15k SAS drives in RAID10), 10 gigabit SFP+ Ethernet (with redundant switching). Each node participates in a distribute+replicate Gluster namespace and runs KVM. We found this to be the most e
