Is rebalance running on this volume right now? If not, can you please 
move out the file copy with "trusted.glusterfs.dht.linkto" attribute out 
of the brick directory 
(/data/glusterfs/safari/brick00/brick/complete/vancouver/refdem/tif2flt.pro) 
to an alternate location & check the behavior?

Thanks,
Vijay
