Dear list,

After looking at my rebalance log more I saw another message that helped me
solve the problem:

[2019-05-06 22:46:01.074035] W [MSGID: 0]
[dht-rebalance.c:1075:__dht_check_free_space] 0-data-dht: Write will cross
min-free-disk for file -
/ilri/miseq/MiSeq1/MiSeq1Output_2014/140624_M01601_0035_000000000-A6L82/Data/TileStatus/TileStatusL1T1114.tpl
on subvol - data-replicate-1. Looking for new subvol

I have not test cluster.min-free-disk, but it appears that the default
value for is 10%, and my bricks are at about 97% capacity so the "No space
error" in my previous message makes sense. I reduced the
cluster.min-free-disk to 2% and restarted the data rebalance and now I see
that it is already rebalancing files. The issue is solved.

Sorry about that! Thank you,
