I want to adjust storage job priority levels which will speed up storage rebalancing in our S2D cluster.
Is relying on the default auto-rebalancing jobs fast enough, or is there a way to increase their priority also, meaning that when we replace failed HDDs, the cluster will rebalance faster to avoid the localized high disk utilization we are seeing?
