Gluster users - Jul 2009 - mtime handling seems generally buggy for directories

Hello again,

as stated earlier there is a problem with mtime setting on directories during
healing in replication setup.
Today I tested 2.0.5 and found out that the handling is more or less generally
buggy for directory mtimes.
Simply try this:
untar some kernel archive on your local disk and look at the mtime of the
created top directory. now untar the same archive on an exported gluster fs
and compare the mtimes.
You will find out that mtime on gluster fs is generally not set (by tar), not
only during a healing process. Obviously this is a bug, easy to reproduce.

I tried this just now and tar sets the mtime correctly for me on an mtime mount.

Can you reproduce

I tried it just now and mtime seems to be set properly for me.

Can you run both server and client in TRACE log level and reproduce this?
Also please send us both client and server log files and an strace dump
of the tar extraction (you might want to pick a very small archive so that
the strace isn't too big).

(Sorry for previous mail - hit send instead of save to drafts).

Hello,

after some more than 24h of testing one of two replication servers (secondary)
crashed completely. We try to forward the console over serial to see if
something useful shows up.
