[Gluster-devel] [Gluster-users] Self heal files

priv->pending_key[] array stores pending-xattr names. It is populated at
the time of a
graph initialisation (see init() in afr.c and thereafter its call to
afr_pending_xattrs_init()).

For example if I have a newly created 2x3 distributed-replicate volume
called "dis-rep", my
priv->pending_key[] array would look like the following:

priv->pending_key[0] = "trusted.afr.dis-rep-client-0"
priv->pending_key[1] = "trusted.afr.dis-rep-client-1"
priv->pending_key[2] = "trusted.afr.dis-rep-client-2"

for the replicate-0 subvolume of dht.

And for replicate-1, it would be

priv->pending_key[0] = "trusted.afr.dis-rep-client-3"
priv->pending_key[1] = "trusted.afr.dis-rep-client-4"
priv->pending_key[2] = "trusted.afr.dis-rep-client-5"

HTH,
Krutika
