<div><div>Hi folks, <div><br></div><div>I just started looking at the sheepdog project. I really like what you are doing here and would like to contribute code in the near future. After reading the slides from kvm forum, I have the following questions:</div>
<div>1. How to determine the id for an object? E.g. for a data object inside a VDI, how to give it an ID? </div><div>2. What is the relationship between vdi object and inode? How to locate them? Are they also located by using consistency hashing?</div>
<div>3. Can each vdi volume have its own replication factor?</div><div>4. How is the user_xattr is used? Why it is required by sheepdog?</div><div>5. Corosync uses multicast to do communications. However, in data center, multicast may be disabled on the switch/router. Is it easy to replace corosync with another engine to manage the node membership, e.g. zookeeper? I would be very happy to contribute on this part.</div>
