When you run 'gluster vol rebalance tank status' do you still see "in progress" ?
As far as I know , you should run this command only once and there is no need to run it on both nodes.

Thank you for the reply.
I started a rebalance with force on serverA as suggested. Now I see 'activity' on that node:
# gluster vol rebalance tank status
Node Rebalanced-files size scanned failures skipped status run time in h:m:s
--------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ --------------
localhost 6143 6.1GB 9542 0 0 in progress 0:4:5
serverB 0 0Bytes 7 0 0 in progress 0:4:5
volume rebalance: tank: success
But I am not seeing any activity on serverB. Is this expected? Does the rebalance need to run on each node even though it says both nodes are 'in progress'?
Thanks,
HB

The rebalance status show 0 Bytes.
Maybe you should try with the 'gluster volume rebalance <VOLNAME> start force' ?

All,
RHEL 7.5Gluster 3.8.152 Nodes: serverA & serverB
I am not deeply knowledgeable about Gluster and it's administration but we have a 2 node cluster that's been running for about a year and a half. All has worked fine to date. Our main volume has consisted of two 60TB bricks on each of the cluster nodes. As we reached capacity on the volume we needed to expand. So, we've added four new 60TB bricks to each of the cluster nodes. The bricks are now seen, and the total size of the volume is as expected:
# gluster vol status tank
Status of volume: tank
Gluster process TCP Port RDMA Port Online Pid
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brick serverA:/gluster_bricks/data1 49162 0 Y 20318
Brick serverB:/gluster_bricks/data1 49166 0 Y 3432
Brick serverA:/gluster_bricks/data2 49163 0 Y 20323
Brick serverB:/gluster_bricks/data2 49167 0 Y 3435
Brick serverA:/gluster_bricks/data3 49164 0 Y 4625

Brick serverB:/gluster_bricks/data4 49169 0 Y 22345
Brick serverB:/gluster_bricks/data5 49170 0 Y 22889

After adding the bricks we ran a rebalance from serverA as:
# gluster volume rebalance tank start
The rebalance completed:
# gluster volume rebalance tank status
Node Rebalanced-files size scanned failures skipped status run time in h:m:s
--------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ --------------
localhost 0 0Bytes 0 0 0 completed 3:7:10
serverA.example.com 0 0Bytes 0 0 0 completed 0:0:0
volume rebalance: tank: success
However, when I run a df, the two original bricks still show all of the consumed space (this is the same on both nodes):
# df -hP

localhost:/tank 355T 116T 239T 33% /mnt/tank
We were thinking that the used space would be distributed across the now 6 bricks after rebalance. Is that not what a rebalance does? Is this expected behavior?
Can anyone provide some guidance as to what the behavior here and if there is anything that we need to do at this point?
Thanks in advance,
HB
