That statement sounds really scary. To reassure people: you can't actually change layout on a file which has already been written to! Trying to do so will return an error code; actually changing the layouts and seeing this result would require manually mucking around with RADOS data underneath the MDS. -Greg _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
