[Gluster-users] symbolic link problems

[Anand Avati]

There is a bug fix in self-healing symlinks in patch-628. Can you try the
revision off tla? I tried to recreate a similar scenario as you mentioned
and things worked fine for me. The log message there too has been fixed (it
was not right to delete files in that case from the backend). Thank you for
reporting!
