symlinks exist in .glusterfs for directories. For files it will be
hardlinks. If the volume has replicate, you have the file even on the
other brick in replication, so you can find the gfid. Accessing this
file from mount will try to re-create the file, but the linking will
fail because the rogue link still exists.
If your system doesn't have hardlinks, you can probably do a 'find' for
files with link-count as '1'
