DESCRIPTION¶

New feature introduced with Gluster release 3.12, to find full path from GFID. This feature can be enabled using Volume set command gluster volume set <VOLUME> storage.gfid2path enable

gluster-setgfid2path /bricks/b1/hello.txt

To set xattr for all the existing files, run the below script on each bricks.

BRICK=/bricks/b1
find $BRICK -type d \( -path "${BRICK}/.trashcan" -o -path \


    "${BRICK}/.glusterfs" \) -prune -o -type f \
