Hallo, Struan,
Du meintest am 01.04.11:
1) Is the balancing operation expected to take many hours (or days?)
on a filesystem such as this? Or are there known issues with the
algorithm that are yet to be addressed?
May be. Balancing about 15 GByte needed about 2 hours (or less),
balancing about 2 TByte needed about 20 hours.
"dmesg" counts down the number of remaining "jobs".
are you sure? here is a snippet of dmesg from a balance i did yesterday
(2.6.38.1)
