[Gluster-users] Gluster clients can't see directories that exist or are created within a mounted volume, but can enter them.

[Nithya Balachandran]

Hi,

Please provide the gluster volume info. Do you see any errors in the client
mount log file (/var/log/glusterfs/var-lib-mountedgluster.log)?


Thanks,
Nithya
