Thanks for your help everyone. David and I have decided to use the first handle in the server's mapping to identify the server. We are at the point now where we need to find a handle range given a host alias. Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to do this?
There is also the question of which handle range to use. Do we use the meta handles or the data handles? Also, will having multiple filesystems complicate anything? --Nick On Tue, May 13, 2008 at 4:10 PM, Phil Carns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't think we have any globally valid fixed sized identifier for the > servers.
