If an application -  wants to read a small file, it can finish its job with just a lookup -  call instead of a lookup followed by read. - -- getdents/setdents - -  These are used by unify to set and get directory entries. - -- ALIGN_BUF - -  Macro to align an address to a page boundary (4K). - -- priv->export_statfs - -  In some cases, two exported volumes may reside on the same -  partition on the server. Sending statvfs info for both -  the volumes will lead to erroneous df output at the client, -  since free space on the partition will be counted twice. - -  In such cases, user can disable exporting statvfs info -  on one of the volumes by setting this option. - -- xattrop - -  This fop is used by replicate to set version numbers on files. - -- getxattr/setxattr hack to read/write files - -  A key, GLUSTERFS_FILE_CONTENT_STRING, is handled in a special way by -  getxattr/setxattr. A getxattr with the key will return the entire -  content of the file as the value. A setxattr with the key will write -  the value as the entire content of the file. - -- posix_checksum - -  This calculates a simple XOR checksum on all entry names in a -  directory that is used by unify to compare directory contents. - -  |
