[Gluster-users] Files go missing on Gluster

This is highly frustrating and we notice that uploaded images disappear after users upload images.

Background:
Latest version of Gluster running on CentOS 64bit
We have two replicated bricks
The volume is mounted via NFS on our image servers (10.0.0.210:/shared_images /data		nfs 	defaults,_netdev 0 0 / 10.0.0.211:/shared_images /data		nfs 	defaults,_netdev 0 0)
The image servers run CentOS 64bit and use Apache HTTP and Tomcat as the application server
Users upload images via the web and Tomcat writes the file with a unique name to the NFS file-system
We use ImageMagick mogrify to resize the image. This takes a few milliseconds (see log-file entry below)
In certain instances images go missing some time after the upload (the users typically check their uploads and the images seem to disappear hours afterwards)
