-#Convert GFID to Path
-
-GlusterFS internal file identifier (GFID) is a uuid that is unique to each
-file across the entire cluster. This is analogous to inode number in a
-normal filesystem. The GFID of a file is stored in its xattr named
-`trusted.gfid`.
-
-####Special mount using [gfid-access translator][1]:
-~~~
-mount -t glusterfs -o aux-gfid-mount vm1:test /mnt/testvol
-~~~
-
-Assuming, you have `GFID` of a file from changelog (or somewhere else).
-For trying this out, you can get `GFID` of a file from mountpoint:
-~~~
-getfattr -n glusterfs.gfid.string /mnt/testvol/dir/file
-~~~
-
-
----
-###Get file path from GFID (Method 1):
-**(Lists hardlinks delimited by `:`, returns path as seen from mountpoint)**
-
-####Turn on build-pgfid option
-~~~
-gluster volume set test build-pgfid on
-~~~
-Read virtual xattr `glusterfs.ancestry.path` which contains the file path
-~~~
-getfattr -n glusterfs.ancestry.path -e text /mnt/testvol/.gfid/<GFID>
-~~~
-
-**Example:**
-~~~
-[root@vm1 glusterfs]# ls -il /mnt/testvol/dir/
-total 1
-10610563327990022372 -rw-r--r--. 2 root root 3 Jul 17 18:05 file
-10610563327990022372 -rw-r--r--. 2 root root 3 Jul 17 18:05 file3
-
-[root@vm1 glusterfs]# getfattr -n glusterfs.gfid.string /mnt/testvol/dir/file
-getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
-# file: mnt/testvol/dir/file
-glusterfs.gfid.string="11118443-1894-4273-9340-4b212fa1c0e4"
-
-[root@vm1 glusterfs]# getfattr -n glusterfs.ancestry.path -e text /mnt/testvol/.gfid/11118443-1894-4273-9340-4b212fa1c0e4
-getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
-# file: mnt/testvol/.gfid/11118443-1894-4273-9340-4b212fa1c0e4
-glusterfs.ancestry.path="/dir/file:/dir/file3"
-~~~
-
----
-###Get file path from GFID (Method 2):
-**(Does not list all hardlinks, returns backend brick path)**
-~~~
-getfattr -n trusted.glusterfs.pathinfo -e text /mnt/testvol/.gfid/<GFID>
-~~~
-
-**Example:**
-~~~
-[root@vm1 glusterfs]# getfattr -n trusted.glusterfs.pathinfo -e text /mnt/testvol/.gfid/11118443-1894-4273-9340-4b212fa1c0e4
-getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
-# file: mnt/testvol/.gfid/11118443-1894-4273-9340-4b212fa1c0e4
-trusted.glusterfs.pathinfo="(<DISTRIBUTE:test-dht> <POSIX(/mnt/brick-test/b):vm1:/mnt/brick-test/b/dir//file3>)"
