Periodically on my gluster setup, unify will fail to display the files that
are some of the bricks. The only way I've found to correct this is to delete
the containing directory from the glusterfs mount and then recopy it through
the glusterfs mount.

The files on the bricks themselves are fine and if I access them directly
they are perfectly usable.

What I can't work out, is what property of the files comes up that causes
this behavior from unify. I'm not using AFR, and if I try to directly access
the files then the unify log will generate an error indicating it found the
file on the brick but not in the namespace. However if I list the contents
of the directory, the file does not show up.


Are the files which you cannot ls on glusterfs mount present on the
namespace node? 

No they are not. I've tried deleting the namespace node and letting it
rebuild, but for the files for which I have the problem this does not
recreate them on the namespace node either. The thing is I can't find
anything wrong with the files which would stop gluster from accessing them,
nor any attributes it might be reacting to.
