[Gluster-users] replicating storage for ESX problem

[Romans Ščugarevs]

Hi!

Yes I've tried reexporting using unsfd too, but problem was the same.
What is even more interesting, when I'm trying to upload an iso image  
to the storage using ESXi interface, everything is fine(image size  
 >1GB) so no problem in creating large files.
