I'm going through a rebalance operation now on my "small" Glusterfs storage pool - 2 servers, 4 bricks, 30TB of total storage, 175 native Glusterfs clients. Current files checked is at 3.5 million - a lot of those are in the 1-1.5GB size range. Hopefully that is of some help - more stats to follow as I get a chance to document them ...
