With this scheme, self-healing (and rolling checksum computation thereby) happens only on those fragments that undergo changes when one of the nodes in a replicated set is offline. This has shown nice improvements in gluster's resource utilization during self-healing. Very interesting, I presume you'd have top create a new volume to test it. Also you'd loose the ability to access the file on the host filesystem in emergencies wouldn't you?
Right on both counts. If you are aware of the layout, the shards can be concatenated to get back a single file. It does need some work to locate the shards and we can possibly provide a script that can stitch shards back to a single file.
