[Gluster-devel] Weirdness in glfs_mkdir()?

[Anand Avati]

glfs_mkdir() (in glfs.h) accepts three params - @fs, @path, @mode. gfapi.py
uses raw ctypes to provide python APIs - and therefore the bug of not
accepting and passing @mode in the mkdir() method in gfapi.py is
translating into a junk value getting received by glfs_mkdir (and random
modes getting set for various dirs). You  just witnessed the woe of a
typeless system :)
