[Gluster-devel] [Gluster-users] du output showing corrupt file system

[Jim Kinney]

Run the du command in the source space.

A symlink that uses relative pathing can turn into a problem on a new mount. 

That said, I've seen "too many levels of linking" errors associated with the gfids dir .glusterfs and gfids of real dirs that are chained links to other dirs. It's still a user space symlink error. It's just compounded by gluster.
