understanding dht value

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

       I am trying to make sense of the hash values that get assigned/used by DHT.

       /brick1/vol and /brick2/vol are the directories that are being used as bricks in a distributed  replicated volume.

 

[root@glusterhackervm3 glus]# getfattr  -n trusted.glusterfs.dht -e hex /brick1/vol

getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names

# file: brick1/vol

trusted.glusterfs.dht=0x0000000100000000000000007ffffde1

This means that any file gets hashed to a value from 0x00 to 0x7ffffde1 gets stored on this brick.

 

 

[root@glusterhackervm3 glus]# getfattr  -n trusted.glusterfs.dht -e hex /brick2/vol

getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names

# file: brick2/vol

trusted.glusterfs.dht=0x00000001000000007ffffde2ffffffff            

This means that any file that’s hashed to a value from 0x7ffffde2 to 0xffffffff gets stored on this brick.

 

 

What is confusing is the dht values that are shown for the directories inside these brick directories. What do the dht values associated with the sub directories signify.

 

[root@glusterhackervm3 glus]# getfattr  -n trusted.glusterfs.dht -e hex /brick2/vol/d/

getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names

# file: brick2/vol/d/

trusted.glusterfs.dht=0x0000000100000000000000007ffffffe

 

[root@glusterhackervm3 glus]# getfattr  -n trusted.glusterfs.dht -e hex /brick2/vol/d/e

getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names

# file: brick2/vol/d/e

trusted.glusterfs.dht=0x0000000100000000000000007ffffffe

 

 

[root@glusterhackervm3 glus]# getfattr  -n trusted.glusterfs.dht -e hex /brick2/vol/d/f

getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names

# file: brick2/vol/d/f

trusted.glusterfs.dht=0x00000001000000007fffffffffffffff

 

Thanks and Regards,

Ram
