Hi
I was wondering, is there a way to change / parameter to pass to
clusters DHT to change the distribution algorithm to only take into
account filename and not the preceding filesystem path?
i.e when a file is at: /mount/gluster/directory/filename.ext
To only hash on “filename.ext” ?
Currently DHT hashes the file name and not the entire path.
See, callers of dht_hash_compute in source (pretty much
dht_layout_search) to which loc->name is passed, which is the file name
and not the entire path.
Are you referring to something else in your request? Meaning, you want
/myfile, /dir1/myfile and /dir2/dir3/myfile to fall onto the same
bricks/subvolumes and that perchance is what you are looking for?
