[Gluster-users] geo-replications invalid names when using rsyncd

[Brian Ericson]

Admittedly an odd case, but...

o I have simple a simple geo-replication setup:  master -> slave.
o I've mounted the master's volume on the master host.
o I've also setup rsyncd server on the master:
   [master-volume]
          path = /mnt/master-volume
          read only = false
o I now rsync from a client to the master using the rsync protocol:
   rsync file rsync://master/master-volume

What I see is "file" when looking at the master volume, but that's not
I see in the slave volume.  This is what is replicated to the slave:

   .file.6chars

where "6chars" is some random letters & numbers.

I'm pretty sure the .file.6chars version is due to my client's rsync
and represents the name rsync gives the file during transport, after
which it renames it to file.  Is this rename at such a low level
that glusterfs's geo-replication doesn't catch it and doesn't see
that it should be doing a rename?
