Hi,
I was going through the source code for afs_server.c . I do not
understand the real significance of afsUUID uuid.
for instance afs_FindServer
if ( !uuid)
{
i=SHash(aserver)
and then a search is done in afs_srvAddrs Hashtable
}
if (uuid)
{
i = afs_uuid_hash(uuidp) % NSERVERS;
and then a search is done in afs_Servers Hashtable.
}
I dont understand since all the servers are already there in
afs_Servers HashTable why do we need a seperate Hash Function. and a
seperate hash Table. We could have easily have given each of the
servers a uuid. And the possibility of certain servers not having uuid
would not have arise.
Can some one explain
Thanks and Regards
Saurav
