[Gluster-users] question about info and info.tmp

Hi Xin,
I've not got a chance to look into it yet. delete stale volume function is
in place to take care of wiping off volume configuration data which has
been deleted from the cluster. However we need to revisit this code to see
if this function is anymore needed given we recently added a validation to
fail delete request if one of the glusterd is down. I'll get back to you on
this.
