[Gluster-users] GlusterFS Failing to write Maya/Renderman Studio Pointcloud files

[Todd Daugherty]

fuse version used from the fedora repos is what we are using. And
there is NOTHING in the logs. I have watched the client and server
logs while this testing has gone on and NOTHING. There are LOTS of
logs from Maya. But I don't think that will help you. If you want I
will tar up the logs. But I did most of the testing on Tuesday and
there is nothing in the lots. Is there a way to turn up verbosity on
the logs? This is a VERY repeatable problem. (Every time I do this
procedure).

Everything else so far works great. And this works when the volume is
exported via Samba. So it sounds like it is in the gluster client. I
turned off BDB and that did not work either. The command (ptfilter)
opens a file and inserts points into it. (x,y,z's) So it is how this
command writes to the filesystem.

ok I just saw --log-level= should I put DEBUG in there?

Thanks

Todd
