Suppose one has a distributed non-replicated glusterfs file system where

is a good idea or not; it's a thought experiment. Does glusterfs balance
space allocation based on the size of data contained in the bricks, or
in the file systems, or something else?
DHT (distribution) is based solely on a hash of the file name.
There's no "balancing" in the current version.
Balancing based on file size and other criteria is on the roadmap for
future releases.
