I already did that - but is hasn't helped.

To reiterate: I have two bricks (both /home/export) via 2 servers,
mounted on two clients as /mnt/glusterfs. I then copied data (on one
client) into /mnt/glusterfs and saw the data start showing up under
/home/export on both servers. However, after killing the copy, I have
inconsistent files under /home/export. I then ran
"find /mnt/glusterfs/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 head -c1 > /dev/null"
to force glusterfs to read every file, and that didn't change the state
of /home/export on the two bricks. Ah, I've just noticed that running
"du /mnt/glusterfs" on both clients also produces inconsistent output -
that certainly shouldn't be happening?
