Hi Andy,
Are you using the brick4 and brick4 from the same set of
subvolume from the last time?.
Since updating the replicate/distribute pairs you might need to
run defrag.sh scripts to
repopulate the hash values properly. Also this is the case when
you don't defrag the older
directories on old exports gets files written to their own set of
pairs. Only new
directories would help in creating files across evenly.
