Howdy all, I would like to request a feature which maybe quite easy with the existing fixed-id translator. The theory we have here is that we want to be able to have all our servers use glusterfs (or a system like it) to store files, however at the moment each server has a unique set of users and some even have Control panels users setup other users with which makes migration difficult. Basically the idea is to allow for UID mapping, for example on all servers, users are currently set up with user IDs between 100 and 199 (as an example), however the translator would convert these to 200-299 for server1, 300-399 for server2, and so on... Hence all the servers have unique User IDs on the storage servers and allow for quotas to be set and avoid security issues. The client config file might look something like this: volume server1-live type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.45.208 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume server1 type features/fixed-id option map-uids 100:199 200:299 option map-gids 100:199 200:299 subvolumes server1 end-volume volume server2-live type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 192.168.45.208 option remote-subvolume brick subvolumes server2 end-volume volume server2 type features/fixed-id option map-uids 100:199 300:399 option map-gids 100:199 300:399 subvolumes server2 end-volume and of course a unify on top of this (and maybe afr's under the fixed-id types) I am hoping that because this should be an easy add with the fixed-id stuff that it will make it into a pre-release.
