 Chunk Distribution

+   Even if the source cluster is balanced, ``mongosync`` doesn't
+   ensure balance of the destination cluster. Because ``mongosync``
+   doesn't support the execution of sharding operations during
+   migration, you must wait until it is safe to accept writes 
+   to rebalance the destination cluster. See :ref:`sharding-balancing`
+   for guidance on how to rebalance the cluster and

 ``mongosync`` does not preserve chunk distribution from the source to
 the destination, even with multiple ``mongosync`` instances. It is not
 possible to reproduce a particular pre-split of chunks from a source
