[Gluster-devel] struct stat.st_blocks inconsistent across cluster nodes

[Ralph Böhme]

Hi folks!

I recently came across an issue where struct stat.st_blocks is not consistent 
across cluster nodes.

This breaks applications that check this field after a node failover as 
discussed in this Samba bug:

<https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13596>

This is similar to the timestamp issue that recently got addressed:

<https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/208>

Just wanted to raise the issue. Is this expected behaviour?

Let me know if you want me to file a bug or RFE.

Thanks!
