[Gluster-devel] write-behind mtime glitch

[Brent A Nelson]

I found an additional clue to the write-behind mtime issue.  Some more 
copies again showed that zero-length files were getting proper mtime. 
Non-empty files again had an mtime associated with the copy EXCEPT for 
these two files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131072 2006-07-11 08:48 /backup/usr0/share/samba/lowcase.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131072 2006-07-11 08:48 /backup/usr0/share/samba/upcase.dat

Well, my write-behind has "option aggregate-size 131072"! I'm guessing 
that's not a coincidence...

Thanks,

Brent
