Abstract
Various systems and methods for determining connectivity of various elements of distributed storage systems. For example, one method involves generating first connectivity information for a node, where the node can to access data that is organized using logical objects. The logical objects include first logical objects and second logical objects. Each of the second logical objects includes one or more of the first logical objects. The first connectivity information for the node indicates accessibility of the node to the first logical objects. The method also includes generating second node connectivity information for the node, where the second connectivity information for the node indicates accessibility of the node to the second logical objects. The generating the second node connectivity information is based on the first connectivity information.
