[Gluster-devel] How namespace works in mainline-2.5?

[Dale Dude]

Im giving input even though Im not positive. The namespace volume is 
needed because all the files/dirs are created there. Files being 0 
bytes. It seems to be used as the lookup "database" for a set of 
volumes. So the space requirements are low and I dont think its 
disposable. I believe they will be using this to keep the AFR volumes in 
sync.

Dale
