[Gluster-devel] RFC: d_off encoding at client/protocol layer

[Jeff Darcy]

> IOW, given a d_off and a common routine, pass the d_off with this (i.e
> current xlator) to get a subvol that the d_off belongs to. This routine
> would decode the d_off for the leaf ID as encoded in the client/protocol
> layer, and match its subvol relative to this and send that for further
> processing. (it may consult the graph or store the range of IDs that any
> subvol has w.r.t client/protocol and deliver the result appropriately).

What happens to this scheme when bricks are repeatedly added/removed?
