[Gluster-users] adding new bricks for volume expansion with 3.0.x?

Following up on my own message, it seems that's exactly it, one must 
mount the volumes using seperate vol files (not using the ip:/vol
syntax).  And the new bricks become visible right away, which is great.
However, my new problem is rebalancing the data in the directories.
There are literally tens of thousands of directories and millions of
files.  Using the scale-n-defrag.sh seems to do nothing and it spews
the "find: setfattr: No such attribute" when it tries to look for the
trusted.glusterfs.dht to delete!

Anyone know what can be done to rebalance in 3.0.6?

Thanks
