The refresh of data can be configured, defaulting it to 30 seconds. We 
have no way however of knowing the time left / number of files yet to be 
rebalanced on a volume. So a progress bar may not be possible.
> 2. Normally in oVirt / Rhev we show more data as a "sub tab". Can we assume that Rebalance status is like "more data" and then put all the data that is now in the modal inside a new sub tab name (activity)?
We were averse to creating a new sub tab -
1. To avoid proliferation of sub tabs
2. since this sub-tab will only be relevant when rebalance operation is 
going on.
> 3. The icon of "Migration data from Brick in progress": Is this apart of the Rebalance process? Is this a derived aspect of the rebalance?
This is for remove brick...Not rebalance

Will contact you off list.
