[Gluster-users] MORE AFR problems with 1.4qa63

[Keith Freedman]

I'm also noticing a problem with file times using AFR

it seems that the file times get set to the time the file was AFR'ed 
to the other server.
the file times should (and used to as far as I recall) be set to the 
time from the server the files is originating.

here's what happens.
we have a process which modifies a file at 1:17 on server1
this file get's AFR'ed to server 2, but it takes some time and the 
file gets there at 1:18

so, the process which updated the file knows it was updated at 1:17, 
it now connects to the other server and sees that the file there is 
newer than it thinks it should be so it raises an error.

Also, I believe this is part of the problem with what I'm currently 
getting, which are a bunch of Input/Output errors from gluster itself.
the error logs look like this:
[afr-self-heal-data.c:767:afr_sh_data_fix] home: Unable to resolve 
conflicting data of /XYZ/public_html/brokenfile. Please resolve 
manually by deleting the file /XYZ/public_html/brokenfile from all 
but the preferred subvolume
[fuse-bridge.c:605:fuse_fd_cbk] glusterfs-fuse: 3013026: OPEN() 
/XYZ/public_html/brokenfile => -1 (Input/output error)

the frustration is that in these cases both servers are on and active 
and working yet, gluster seems to be causing it's own 
problems.  Again, I believe it's dues to the timestamps on the 
underlying filesystem not being what is expected.
