Have you checked https://staged-gluster-docs.readthedocs.io/en/release3.7.0beta1/Features/rebalance/ ? I know it's old but it might provide some clarity.
The files are removed from the source subvolume to the new subvolume.
Removed bricks do not get any writes, as during the preparation - a rebalance is issued which notifies the clients to use the new DHT subvolume.
