Well, now I know about it too. Thanks for the discussion.

I would think this is a bug, but then again it depends on the
application. For some users it isn't, for others it might be. Maybe it
shouldn't be a bug, but at least a configurable mount option or
gluster volume option.

Not high on my wishlist though.

Thanks for starting this thread Jay.

Cheers!
