Description Lakshmipathi G 2010-09-02 05:29:39 UTC
after using "gluster volume rebalance volname start", the files created under new directory goes to new brick.but files created under existing directory goes to old bricks, not to new brick.

Comment 1 Lakshmipathi G 2010-09-02 07:28:35 UTC
using add-brick,I have added new brick to exising 2 dht server.
----------
gluster volume info
Number of Volumes: 1

Volume Name: simpledht
Type: None
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 3
Bricks:
Brick1: 172.24.21.132:/mnt/dht
Brick2: 172.24.21.131:/mnt/dht
Brick3: 172.24.21.134:/mnt/dht
---------
creating new files from client mount point,
touch {200..20000}
all files  goes to brick1 and brick2,but not to brick3

Comment 2 Lakshmipathi G 2010-09-02 07:52:55 UTC
Now adding 2 servers instead of one,
gluster volume add-brick chk 172.24.21.133:/mnt/dht 172.24.21.134:/mnt/dht
Add Brick successful

created files - 
# touch F{1..100}

these new files distributed into new bricks without doing rebalance.

tested this issue with qa15 - 
added third brick and ran rebalance -

#gluster volume rebalance bug763241 start
starting defrag on volume bug763241 has been successful
10.192.141.187#gluster volume rebalance bug763241 status
rebalance completed: rebalanced 0 files of size 0 (total files scanned 1001)

new brick is empty.
