The full URI cannot be considered unique, either, as both gluster://hosta/volume/file and gluster://hostb/volume/file may resolve to the same file. I think we are better off documenting that a key is unique for some pools, but best effort for others, and not change what we have already been outputting. But if we DO keep this patch, you also need to change the documentation that gives examples of gluster keys. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
