# getfattr -n trusted.glusterfs.pathinfo /mnt/test-volume/Bonnie.6790/00001/0000000065GEmkQPntG 
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: mnt/test-volume/Bonnie.6790/00001/0000000065GEmkQPntG
trusted.glusterfs.pathinfo="(<DISTRIBUTE:test-volume-dht> <POSIX:storage1:/data/sdc/test/Bonnie.6790/00001/0000000065GEmkQPntG>)"
