[Gluster-devel] [FYI]AFR's selfheal maybe failed due to permission problem

[Krishna Srinivas]

Hi Li,

Earlier versions of fuse used to do lookup() with root permissions
hence it was not a problem, now it does it as process's uip/gid because of
which you are facing this problem, I will fix it so that self-heal of afr
is done as root.

Thanks
Krishna
