[Gluster-users] Stale file handle with FUSE client

[Alan Orth]

Another invocation of this issue:

E138: Can't write viminfo file /home/aorth/.viminfo!

This happened after using vim on several machines which share the same
networked /home directory.  Usage wasn't concurrent, but within 10
seconds or so of each other.  The client's volume log looks like this:

[2014-03-13 07:31:59.961040] W
[client-rpc-fops.c:526:client3_3_stat_cbk] 0-homes-client-0: remote
operation failed: No such file or directory
[2014-03-13 07:31:59.963245] W
[client-rpc-fops.c:471:client3_3_open_cbk] 0-homes-client-0: remote
operation failed: No such file or directory. Path: /aorth/.viminfo
(0f674308-6948-4383-bce7-9598a153d837)

operation failed: No such file or directory. Path: /aorth/.viminfo
(0f674308-6948-4383-bce7-9598a153d837)
[2014-03-13 07:31:59.964873] W [fuse-bridge.c:915:fuse_fd_cbk]
0-glusterfs-fuse: 72528783: OPEN() /aorth/.viminfo => -1 (No such file
or directory)

But of course the file exists:

$ ls -l .viminfo
-rw-------. 1 aorth aorth 12002 Mar 13 10:29 .viminfo

Any help would be appreciated!
