Hi,I have a query on rebalancing.let's consider following is my folder hierarchy.parent1-fol (parent folder)|_class-fol-1 ( 1 st level subfolder)|_A ( 2 nd level subfolder)|_childfol-1 (child folder created every time before writing files)Now, I have a running cluster with 3.10.1 with disperse volume and I am planning to expand cluster by adding bricks.will there be a problem using newly added bricks without doing a "rebalance fix layout" other than existing files cannot be rebalanced to new brick and files created under existing folder will not go to new brick?.I tested above case in my test setup and observed files created under new folder goes to new brick. and I don't see any issue on listing files and folder.so, My case is we create child folder every time before creating files.The reason to avoid rebalance is I have more than 10000 folders across 1080 bricks. so triggering rebalance will take a long time and in my previous expansion in 3.7 was not able to access some folders randomly until fix layout completes.
It sounds like you will not need to run a rebalance or fix-layout for this. It should work fine.
