File lib/vdsm/utils.py:

Line 1169:     h = hashlib.md5()
Line 1170:     for s in strings:
Line 1171:         h.update(s)
Line 1172:     # Engine stores this in varchar(30)
Line 1173:     return h.hexdigest()[:30]
I wonder if this alter the properties of the hash like the distribution. IIRC 
it should not, and a quick google search seems to confirm
