[Gluster-users] files on stripe not visible with ls or stat, but files visible at the filesystem layer can still be cat'd / viewed through the gluster fuse layer (you just have to know the file name)

[Sabuj Pattanayek]

Also if I try to rm -rf the directory from the fuse mount, it'll tell
me that it has files in it and won't let me do it.
