[Gluster-users] Issue with duplicated files in gluster 3.10

[Andrea Fogazzi]

Hello Ravi,

thanks for your help.

I confirm that, based on our tests, setting at off parallel-readdir solve the double file in ls; we will verify more on our large file system, but until now it seem's work ok.


Thanks also for pointing out that the parallel-readdir is experimental.


Best regards,

andrea

The linkto files are not duplicates. They're created when you rename a
file and the file hashes to a different suvolume of dht. When you issue
readdir, dht normally 'filters out' the linkto files so that they don't
appear on the mount.
parallel-readdir option has a bug which interferes with dht's filtering,
so disabling this option until the bug is fixed should work on your live
system.
