Hi Alberto,
Sadly you should verify if the issue is the same.
Enable the trace logs for the bricks and verify if the errors in the logs with those in the bugzilla.
Don't forget to stop the trace log or your logs' dir will get full.

What version of gluster are you using ?
In my case only a  downgrade has restored the operation of the cluster, so you should consider that as an option (last, but still an option).

You can try to run a find against the fuse and 'find  /path/to/fuse -exec setfacl -m u:root:rw {} \;'
Maybe that will force gluster to read the ACLs again.

Good luck!
If you have the option, join the next gluster meeting and ask for an update (if the issue is actually the same).

Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov
