- When the fileserver wants to enumerate the set of volumes that
share blocks with a given volume, it checks all other numerical
volume ids which could possibly be in its volume group.
that would be "all possible volume ids". so, no.
because i remember the issue from a bug, well, vos examine user.dousti -c
andrew.cmu.edu
- The definition of a volume group is the volume id of a rw volume
and the two volume id's larger than it.
see above.
And does it also mean that the sole purpose of volume groups is to
know what volumes to get rid of when an RW is removed?
i wouldn't bet on the code not taking advantage of a lookup on foo to get
info about foo.readonly and foo.backup, and not looking those up explicitly
if the lookup on foo returned no info, and i'm certainly not going to break
old clients if it does work that way.
