[Gluster-users] Maildir issue.

[W K]

Well as the person who had the issue, I'd like to point out the following:

a) I had already suggested that the Gluster doc site link to Joe's blog 
in my original discussion <grin>

b) At the time, I wasn't aware of the 32/64 bit issue, so even though I 
had been to Joe's blog several times, while we were busy creating 
split-brains and other testing, I wouldn't have searched that article 
for the fix to my files not being LISTed in the pop3 service.

Remember everything about our Gluster setup worked great otherwise.

The title of the Blog would have to be related to how someone google's 
the  issue such as 'Files not being shown on Gluster', rather than the 
current title which assumes you are familiar with the 32bit on 64 issue.

I had used the quick setup instructions to get going, so a quick 32/64 
bit discussion there would have been the best place to at least warn the 
user of a potential 32/64 issue.

As an aside, there is lot of good stuff about Gluster found by Googling. 
However, one thing a new has to do is figure out what is still relevant 
given all the recent Gluster improvements and that makes trouble 
shooting much tougher.

For example, whether or not Ext4 is still problematic.
