[Gluster-users] Files are duplicated after renaming (with glusterfs+zfs-fuse)

Use a posix complaint filesystem as the backend.

Yes. That is the reason of the problem. The character 'T' in the ACL list
means its having a stickybit set. (perm 01000). We treat files with
permission 01000 (ie, ---------T type) as link files in 'cluster/distribute'
translator and filter it out in 'readdir()' call. If the permission of that
link file is different, then it treats it as a regular file, and hence
readdir() sends duplicate entries for the same file.
