 In [http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-May/001729.html this
 mailing list message], Humberto Ortiz-Zuazaga asks how to rebalance the
 shares of a file.  To close this ticket add a "rebalance" option (so, a
 checkbox in the WUI or a {{{--rebalance}}} flag in the CLI) that uploads
 new shares to any server that it thinks ought to have a share.

 See also related tickets #481 (build some share-migration tools), #231
 (good handling of small numbers of servers, or strange choice of servers),
 #232 (Peer selection doesn't rebalance shares on overwrite of mutable
 file.), and #543 ('rebalancing manager')
