Hello, since I also have noticed those files, could you please clarify (or point me to the proper documentation) what 'hashed subvolumes' and 'non hashed subvolumes' are? > The cleanup of these files will be taken care of by running > rebalance. When you say rebalance you mean a fix-layout or a full rebalance with data migration? Should I plan to issue a rebalance request periodically to get rid of those files? Thank you very much in advance for your attention, Best regards
