The SEEK procedure translates to lseek() in the posix xlator. This can
return with "No suck device or address" (ENXIO) in only one case:

    ENXIO    whence is SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and the file offset is
             beyond the end of the file.

This means that an lseek() was executed where the current offset of the
filedescriptor was higher than the size of the file. I'm not sure how
that could happen... Sharding prevents using SEEK at all atm.

Probably the problem is with SEEK support in the arbiter functionality.
Just like with a READ or a WRITE on the arbiter brick, SEEK can only
succeed on bricks where the files with content are located. It does not
look like arbiter handles SEEK, so the offset in lseek() will likely be
higher than the size of the file on the brick (empty, 0 size file). I
don't know how the replication xlator responds on an error return from
SEEK on one of the bricks, but I doubt it likes it.

We have https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1301647 to support
SEEK for sharding. I suggest you open a bug for getting SEEK in the
arbiter xlator as well.

HTH,
Niels
