[Gluster-devel] KDE and glusterfs homedir

[Anand Avati]

Andrey,
  using 'use_ino' field potentially has a problem while using unify.
Since two machines can have the same inode number for two differnt
files, it can cause a conflict at the fuse layer in the client side. I
am still looking into a solution.
