[Gluster-devel] Replication resync after disconnection

[gordan at bobich.net]

I'm running 1.3.8pre5 from the rpms. Is there a newer one now? Is this a 
known bug? What release fixes it?

On a separate note, what are xattrs used for? What features will be broken 
without xattrs available on the underlying FS?
