[Pvfs2-developers] Rebalancing after adding additional nodes

[Julian Martin Kunkel]

Hi,
Maybe the old datafiles are not deleted properly ? Maybe we could try the 
following to figure out if that is the case, choose a file on the old setting 
(4 servers) (or create a new one lets say 100MByte) printing out the real file 
names in the storage space with pvfs2-viewdist, in addition do a statfs. Then 
balance this file on the new setting with 8 servers. Then look at the statfs 
again. Also check the old  bytestream files in the dataspace again. Are they 
still present ? 
I think it might also be interesting to run the normal UNIX df command before 
and after the migration on the server which should delete the file to verify 
these results.
