Description Amar Tumballi 2010-07-02 18:13:34 UTC
this command line option for glusterfs is very crucial to test the volume options.

What is '--xlator-option'?:
     --xlator-option=VOLUME-NAME.OPTION=VALUE
                             Add/override a translator option for a volume with
                             specified value


How to test:

When this option works, we should get the below log in log files:

root@supernova:~# glusterfs -f /home/amar/work/specs/unittest/dht.vol --xlator-option "dht.lookup-unhashed=yes" /mnt/export
root@supernova:~# grep 'gf_add_cmdline_options' /var/log/glusterfs/mnt-export.log
[2010-07-02 22:19:16.107146] W [graph.c:247:gf_add_cmdline_options] dht: adding option 'lookup-unhashed' for volume 'dht' with value 'yes'

NOTE: this log comes only for the proper '<VOLUME-NAME>' option given.
