[Gluster-users] gluster volume rebalance making things more unbalanced

[Pat Haley]

Hi Strahil

The documentation I looked at:

  * https://docs.google.com/document/d/18iGX6I7I0yHUZ1zAfLIEnXDRPkIoMh6CHmwyyb6J4GM/edit#heading=h.oogvisuwd2qd

suggested that not using force might leave some links behind that could 
affect performance

Thanks

Pat
