[Gluster-devel] Duplicate Symlinks in ls

[Amar S. Tumballi]

Erik,
 Yes, AFR replicates all the files (symlinks too) on its child nodes, but 
UNIFY requires the file (not directories) on only one of the child node.

Thus, as of now (with this release) when one is changing configuration 
related to xlators/cluster/{afr,stripe,unify} the empty export directory 
is recommended to avoid inconsistancy.
