It's actually a bit more complicated than that.
The system type is a subset of the metadata type, so -m includes -s by
implication. Therefore, specifying -d -m is the same as specifying -d -s
-m, is the same as not specifying any of them.
The normal way to balance system chunks is to balance metadata, which
includes but is not limited to system chunks. The -s makes it possible
to do system chunks only, but to actually make it do it, you will need to
pass -f, to force the balance, since normally you'd just balance
metadata, and let system chunks be balanced as part of the metadata
balance.
