[Gluster-users] Rebalance taking > 2 months

Hi Rusty,

Sorry I took so long to get back to you.

Which is the newly added brick? I see datanode02 has not picked up any
files for migration which is odd.
How full are the individual bricks (df -h ) output.
Is each of your bricks in a separate partition?
Can you send me the rebalance logs from all 3 nodes (offline if you prefer)?

We can try using scripts to speed up the rebalance if you prefer.

Regards,
Nithya
