[Gluster-devel] Re: NFS reexport status

All of my tests were done with no_root_squash already, and all tests were 
done as root.

Without AFR, gluster and NFS reexports work fine with du and rsync.

With AFR, gluster by itself is fine, but du and rsync from an NFS client 
do not work properly. rsync gives lots of I/O errors and occasional "file 
has vanished" messages for paths where the last element is junk.  du gives 
incorrect sizes (smaller than it should) and occassionally gives "no such 
file or directory", also for paths where the last element is junk.  See 
output below for examples from both of this junk.  Perhaps if you could 
figure out how those paths are getting corrupted, the whole problem will 
be resolved...

Thanks,

Brent
