[Gluster-users] mv error : foo and bar are the same file ?

[Daniel Maher]

Hello all,

I have encountered a strange situation where mv seems to think that two 
files on the gluster mount are the same file.  Example :

[root at server gluster]# mv obj28824.xml obj28824T-1.xml
mv: 'obj28824.xml' and 'obj28824T-1.xml' are the same file

[root at server gluster]# ls -l obj28824*.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 witbe witbe 5707 2009-02-21 03:02 obj28824T-1.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 witbe witbe 5707 2009-02-23 08:12 obj28824.xml

[root at server gluster]# stat obj28824.xml
   File: `obj28824.xml'
   Size: 5707      	Blocks: 16         IO Block: 4096   regular file

I can perform this operation on other files in the same directory - it's 
just this file.  There are no references to this operation in the logs 
on either the client or the servers.

Any ideas ?
