[Gluster-devel] Geo-rep start after snapshot restore makes the geo-rep faulty

[Shwetha Acharya]

We are thinking of eliminating path from index file, instead of replacing
it. We need to further see if it is feasible to do so. I am looking into
it.  @Aravinda Vishwanathapura Krishna Murthy <avishwan at redhat.com> @Kotresh
Hiremath Ravishankar <khiremat at redhat.com>  Any pointers on this?

Regards,
Shwetha
