[Gluster-devel] Rebalance Query

[Paul Cuzner]

Hi,

I was asked today about the relative priority of rebalance.

>From what I understand, gluster does not perform any rate-limiting on rebalance or even geo-rep. Is this the case?

Also, assuming that we don't rate-limit rebalance, can you confirm whether rebalance fops are lower priority than client I/O and if there are any mechanisms to influence the priority of the rebalance. Again from what I can see this isn't possible.

Cheers,
