[Gluster-devel] "Structure needs cleaning" error

[Krishna Srinivas]

Thanks Brent.

Avati, if lookup on the root has not been done the current operation
can be paused and continued later after looking up the root. It would
fix the issue. Or when glusterfs client is started fuse-bridge can
initiate a lookup on the root.

I think so, but let Avati confirm it.
