At least with tsm 5.1.6.3, "move data" has an option, which defaults to
no, to reconstruct the aggregates.

However, move data can cause volume contention that you do not get with
reclaim.

A good alternative.  Just be aware that Move Data is not equivalent to
Reclamation: Move Data does not reclaim "holes" in aggregates, while
Reclamation does.  You get more space back from Reclamation, but it
takes longer than Move Data.
