[Gluster-users] How Can I Find Remaining Time for a Rebalance?

[Joe Julian]

Just as how you can't ask xfs or ext4 how many files it has, you can't 
ask Gluster the same thing. It doesn't know. It crawls the tree, looks 
at the hash of the filename, and determines if it should reside on a 
different brick.

To guess how much remains, look at how many are complete out of 25 million.
