Documented steps

  1. Run `mc admin rebalance stop ALIAS` where ALIAS is the MinIO deployment alias.
  2. Confirm the operation ends; you can start a rebalance again later with `mc admin rebalance start ALIAS`.
  3. Stopping a rebalance is required before adding a server pool via config.yaml hot-reload, which rejects the reload while rebalancing is active.
