[Gluster-devel] Issues with fallocate, discard and zerofill

[Anand Avati]

Shishir,
Is this in reference to the dht open file rebalance (of replaying the
operations to the destination server)? I am assuming so, as that is
something which has to be handled.

The other question is how should fallocate/discard be handled by self-heal
in AFR. I'm not sure how important it is, but will be certainly good to
bounce some ideas off here. Maybe we should implement a fiemap fop to query
extents/holes and replay them in the other serverl?
