Isn't 255 bytes a bit short, especially for values? What usecases does this have in Tarsnap? Filename <-> Hash mapping?
- cperciva 16y agoIsn't 255 bytes a bit short, especially for values? No. Values, not blobs. What usecases does this have in Tarsnap? Filename <-> Hash mapping? (Machine, block name) -> (object on S3, offset within object, length of block) And a few others to deal with in-progress transactions and suchlike. But I think the largest values I need are 20 bytes long.
- wladimir 16y agoThanks, that makes a lot of sense.
