Glusterfs GFID resolver -- turns a GFID into a real file path
 
Usage: $0 <brick-path> <gfid> [-q]

  <brick-path> : the path to your glusterfs brick (required)
  
  <gfid> : the gfid you wish to resolve to a real path (required)
  
  -q : quieter output (optional)
       with this option only the actual resolved path is printed.
       without this option $0 will print the GFID, 
       whether it identifies a file or directory, and the resolved
       path to the real file or directory.
 
Theory:
The .glusterfs directory in the brick root has files named by GFIDs
If the GFID identifies a directory, then this file is a symlink to the
actual directory.  If the GFID identifies a file then this file is a
hard link to the actual file.
