Rebalancing, i.e. changing the parameters of existing files and putting<br>
shares in the optimal places, is less automatic than we would like it to be.<br>
Currently I think the easiest way to do that is to copy a directory tree<br>
from the grid to a local filesystem and then copy it back (to a new directory<br>
on the grid), then delete the original tree and allow its shares to expire.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't think that will perform rebalancing on immutable files unless you also change your convergence secret. Without changing the secret, when you do the upload Tahoe will notice that the files already exist in the grid -- with the old parameters -- and consider that sufficient.</div>
