It seems to calculate hash value based on its parent directory. For example, I have 3 bricks, br1, br2, br3 and each has 100G. And I'm going to more files on the following two directories, one is 10G and the other is 150G /aa/* (thousand files total 10G) /bb/* (tens of thousand files total 150G) If files in /aa/ is mapped to br1 and /bb/ is mapped to br2, would the overflowing 50G of /bb/ be stored at one of free spaces in br1 or br3? (min-free-disk is 0 for easier example) If it is supported, how GFS can fine the overflowing files with O(1). Otherwise, total size of a directory might be much smaller than one brick size. (many directories can use same brick) <http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/Understanding_DHT_Translator> Min --0016364eca9e08d7f5046b931d66 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello,<div><br></div><div>I'm a newbie at the GlusterFS.=A0</div><div>F= rom the distribute translator document,=A0<a href=3D"http://www.gluster.org= /docs/index.php/Understanding_DHT_Translator">http://www.gluster.org/docs/i= ndex.php/Understanding_DHT_Translator</a></div> <div><br></div><div>It seems to calculate hash value based on its parent di= rectory.</div><div><br></div><div>For example, I have 3 bricks, br1, br2, b= r3 and each has 100G.</div><div>And I'm going to more files on the foll= owing two directories, one is 10G and the other is 150G</div> <div><br></div><div>/aa/* =A0 =A0 =A0 (thousand files total=A010G)</div><di= v>/bb/* =A0 =A0 =A0 (tens of thousand files total 150G)</div><div><br></div= ><div>If files in /aa/ is mapped to br1 and =A0/bb/ is mapped to br2, would= the overflowing 50G of /bb/ be stored at one of free spaces in br1 or br3?= </div> <div>(min-free-disk is 0 for easier example)</div><div><br></div><div>If it= is supported, how GFS can fine the overflowing files with O(1).</div><div>= Otherwise, total size of a directory might be much=A0smaller than one brick= size.
