As Sean Davis said in another mail in this thread, hashing is deterministic. So if you keep trying with that file, you will get the same result. This deterministic hashing makes many operations fast. If you want "scheduling", you can try using the (slower) unify translator instead of distribute. Vikas -- Engineer - Z Research http://gluster.com/
