[Gluster-users] Space balancing

Suppose one has a distributed non-replicated glusterfs file system where 
the bricks are subdirectories of real file systems, and the file systems 
also contain data outside of the brick directories. Never mind if this 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?
