[Gluster-users] Inconsistent md5sum of replicated file

[Anthony Delviscio]

Pranith, by parent directory, do you mean the directory that contains the
file or the top level directory of the brick?



My gluster volume info:

http://pastie.org/2493045

The hostnames used in the gluster volume info are DNS hostnames that resolve
to 10GB interfaces on the Gluster nodes.

The hostname used in the mount options is a RR DNS hostname that resolves to
all eight Gluster nodes.



Stat/md5sum/getfattr data of the identical files with different md5sums.

Thank you
