[Gluster-users] geo-replications invalid names when using rsyncd

[Brian Ericson]

Thanks!

As near as I can tell, the GlusterFS thinks it's done -- I finally ended 
up renaming the files myself after waiting a couple of days.

If I take an idle master/slave (no pending writes) and do an rsync to 
copy a file to the master volume, I can see that the file is otherwise 
correct (sha1sum of the file on master matches sha1sum of .file.6chars 
on slave) and that the "last synced" time is bumped.  But, for as long 
as I've been willing to wait, I've yet to see the .file.6chars moved to 
file.

I'm using
# rpm -qa gluster*
glusterfs-fuse-3.7.5-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-3.7.5-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-cli-3.7.5-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-libs-3.7.5-1.el7.x86_64
