[Gluster-users] gluster no longer serving all of its files

Hi Pat,

I've seen a similar issue, when using the NFS translator, some files
were not visible (hundreds of thousands to millions of files in the
XFS filesystem); but native client systems could see all files.

This was with a single brick system, I had to revert that system to
old NFS (no gluster) to resolve the issue, as some of my systems can
only NFS mount.

Hope this helps...
