[Gluster-users] files on stripe not visible with ls or stat, but files visible at the filesystem layer can still be cat'd / viewed through the gluster fuse layer (you just have to know the file name)

[Shylesh Kumar Mohan]

Hi Sabuj,

We have observed this scenario in case of stripe count change.
Have you changed the stripe count since volume creation?

Also please mention which version you are using.



Thanks,
Shylesh

Also if I try to rm -rf the directory from the fuse mount, it'll tell
me that it has files in it and won't let me do it.
