You've mis-attributed the quote, Krishna. What i meant was exactly
what i said : if you have a 5GB file on an AFR cluster, and a client
makes a one-byte change to that file, then the entire 5GB file is
re-copied to all members of the AFR cluster.
At least, that's my understanding of the situation - please correct me
if i'm wrong. :)
