It achieves that by leveraging a +mechanism to retrieve the appropriate case of filenames by querying a +specific extended attribute in the filesystem. No extra configuration +is required to use this module, only glusterfs_fuse needs to be set in +the "vfs objects" parameter. Further details can be found in the +vfs_glusterfs_fuse(8) manpage. This new vfs_glusterfs_fuse module does +not replace the existing vfs_glusterfs module, it just provides an +additional, alternative mechanism to access a Gluster volume. + REMOVED FEATURES ================ -- cgit v1.2.1
