A fix-layout will recalculate the layouts entirely so files all the values
will change. No files will be moved.
A rebalance will recalculate the layouts like the fix-layout but will also
move files to their new locations based on the new layout ranges. This
could take a lot of time depending on the number of files/directories on
the volume. If you do this, I would recommend that you turn off
lookup-optimize until the rebalance is over.

The first access for a file will be slower. The next one will be faster as
the location will be cached in the client's in-memory structures.
You may not need to run either a fix-layout or a rebalance if new file
creations will be in directories created after the add-brick. Gluster will
automatically include all 7 bricks for those directories.
