But even if the checksum did change, wouldn't you need to sync the cookbooks to another server also?  As the actual file would not be present?

In chef 10, if the checksum of the uploaded cookbook content was already in the couch database, then the file would not get uploaded to the disk.
Is this the same in chef 11? I'd like to use a replicated database without needing to synchronize the chef bookshelf store.

Hi Mark,

The Chef 11 Server uses the bookshelf component to store cookbook content. The default data directory is: /var/opt/chef-server/bookshelf/data. This can be configured via chef-server.rb config as:

bookshlef['data_dir'] = PATH

Currently all cookbook content files are stored as flat files in the data directory.
