Gluster users - Aug 2008 - Rebalancing storage brick usage

Does gluster have any built in functionality to rebalance the disk usage
across a set of storage bricks? My current arrangement currently has 8
bricks, with 7 stuck at 100% capacity and 1 having the only free space left
in the system.
 
This is undesireable from a performance standpoint obviously. My setup is
just a simple unify of the underlying bricks - can gluster be set to move
the data around to keep the % usage about the same, or alternatively, has
anyone solved this problem with a 3rd party program which they'd vouch as
being good at it?

Rebalancing (we call it defrag as of now) will be introduced in 1.5. Till then
you will have to manually move the files across nodes.
