Ah, ok. Let me clarify - it will migrate files to and from dc4-03 /dev/md0
to use the new directory layouts (which is correct behaviour for a
rebalance but unnecessary in this case as it can potentially cause the
remove-brick operation to take longer). It should not migrate all the data
from this brick so you should still see lots of files on it. Only the data
on the removed-brick will be moved off completely.

I recommend that you let the remove-brick proceed and keep an eye on the
disk usage of dc4-03 /dev/md0 as well. Let me know if you see if falling
drastically.

If you can afford some downtime, we could probably try alternate methods
but those would mean that users would not have access to some files on the
volume.

Nithya
