[Gluster-users] AFR dates problem

[Krishna Srinivas]

Keith,

It was fixed in the sense, AFR will return stat of the same subvol
everytime, before it used to return stat from one of the subvols. But
still if the subvol-server clock is different than that of client, the
time stamp will be of the server and not client.
