[Gluster-users] Problem using fixed-uid with glusterfs 3.1.4 (error says: fixed-uid does not exist???)

[Amar Tumballi]

At present the mount format of glusterfs doesn't support fixed uid/gid. Even
that is not bought in as the CLI option. Currently best option for you is
using NFS if fixed uid/gid is critical.

Regards,
Amar
