Hello, I have published an untested "hide" module (compiled against glusterfs-3.2.6); A simple method for hiding an underlying directory structure from parent/up-stream bricks within GlusterFS. In 2012 this code was spawned from my incomplete 2009 dedupe brick code which used this method to protect its internal hash database from the user, above. http://midnightcode.org/projects/saturn/code/hide-0.5.tgz I am serious when I mean untested - I've not even loaded the module under Gluster, it simply compiles. Let me know if there are tweaks that should be made or considered. Enjoy. -- Ian Latter Late night coder .. http://midnightcode.org/
