Hi, In prior rounds of discussion, we raised the possibility of supporting 64-bit volume ids. In reviewing this, I was surprised to notice that the discussion did not move on to vnode number.
I make out at least two sub-topics: 1. the limit of 2^32 vnodes per volume per se 2. the justification for preserving forever the artifact that odd vnode numbers (only) are directories A couple of times over the last year or so, Tom Keiser had mentioned the notion of modernizing or generalizing AFSFid, but I am unaware of wider community thinking on this.
