Hi,
Sure, I'll attach them to a message directly to you so that I don't hit
the list with some large attachments.
This morning I noticed another, probably related, problem. I tried to
open a VMware image on the Gluster volume and ran into problems. Going
through the Gluster mount (again, 3.1.2 client and server) I saw:
stevew at boer:/net/post/stevew/.VirtualBox/Machines/WinXP-Pro$ ls -l
total 88
drwxr-xr-x 2 stevew sysmgr 32768 2011-01-21 14:24 Logs
---------T 1 stevew sysmgr 7754 1969-12-31 19:00 WinXP-Pro.xml
---------T 1 stevew sysmgr 7754 1969-12-31 19:00 WinXP-Pro.xml
---------T 1 stevew sysmgr 7754 1969-12-31 19:00 WinXP-Pro.xml-prev
---------T 1 stevew sysmgr 7754 1969-12-31 19:00 WinXP-Pro.xml-prev
On the server looking at the bricks directly, I saw:
root at pablo:/gluster# ls -l
04/brick/home/stevew/.VirtualBox/Machines/WinXP-Pro/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 stevew sysmgr 4096 2010-12-15 10:41 Logs
-rw------- 1 stevew sysmgr 7754 2011-01-21 14:52 WinXP-Pro.xml
-rw------- 1 stevew sysmgr 7754 2011-01-21 14:52 WinXP-Pro.xml-prev
root at pablo:/gluster# ls -l
06/brick/home/stevew/.VirtualBox/Machines/WinXP-Pro/
total 16

---------T 1 stevew sysmgr 7754 1969-12-31 19:00 WinXP-Pro.xml
So I copied the WinXP-Pro.xml from brick 04 back to the mounted Gluster
volume which got me operational again but this is what I now see via the
Gluster mount:
stevew at boer:/net/post/stevew/.VirtualBox/Machines/WinXP-Pro$ ls -al
total 164
drwxr-xr-x 3 stevew sysmgr 32768 2011-01-21 14:52 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 stevew sysmgr 32768 2010-12-03 12:23 ..

---------T 1 stevew sysmgr 7754 1969-12-31 19:00 WinXP-Pro.xml-prev
Thanks,
