[Gluster-devel] Occasional I/O error

[Brent A Nelson]

Just a "me-too", here; I saw this after/during a self-heal a few weeks 
ago.  Under these circumstances, GlusterFS apparently tries to follow the 
symlink; if the target doesn't exist (say, if the symlinks are in an area 
meant for chroot), GlusterFS complains.

Thanks,

Brent
