Thank you. I had checked for extended attributes using

~# getfattr -d /disk/storage1/safe
~#

and found nothing, but it turns out I need to override the default -m
pattern:

~# getfattr -m- -d /disk/storage1/safe
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: disk/storage1/safe
trusted.gfid=0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQ==
trusted.glusterfs.volume-id=0sR6jzJg5ISnGc/vnvjVVdtw==

Regards,

Brian.
