Gluster users - Jul 2016 - Shard storage suggestions

I'd say, like this:

/.shard/d2/18/D218CD1C-4BD9-40D7-9810-86B3F7932509.1

Yes, something like this.
I was on mobile when I wrote. Your suggestion is better than mine.

Probably, using a directory for the whole shard is also better and
keep the directory structure clear:

 /.shard/d2/18/D218CD1C-4BD9-40D7-9810-86B3F7932509/D218CD1C-4BD9-40D7-9810-86B3F7932509.1

The current shard directory structure doesn't scale at all.
