[Gluster-users] du output showing corrupt file system

[Amudhan P]

Hi Jim,

"du" command was run from fuse mounted volume. it's a single mount point.

Gluster should handle that issue right and I don't have any problem in
accessing issue reported folders but only when running "du" command for the
folder it throws error msg.

regards
Amudhan
