[Pvfs2-developers] host id

[Nicholas Mills]

Thanks for your help everyone.

David and I have decided to use the first handle in the server's mapping to
identify the server. We are at the point now where we need to find a handle
range given a host alias. Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to do
this?

There is also the question of which handle range to use. Do we use the meta
handles or the data handles? Also, will having multiple filesystems
complicate anything?
