I don't know if it's the best way, but here's how I do it: I find the inode of the GFID (via "ls -li"), and then run a find with the -inum flag to find the file on the brick. Although a quick scan of the "find" manpage suggests you can use the -samefile flag for the same effect. It will definitely get you the right result, but it can be slow on a very large brick (mine are 36TB each, which take a while to find things sometimes). -Dan
