[Gluster-users] Directory writes yes, directory reads no
The quick question: Has anyone else run into the issue where
they can write files to a directory, but then are unable to see them
with something like `ls`? After starting the server and client and
mounting the glusterfs share to /mnt/gluster, if I cd into it and run
`touch foo && ls`, no files are visible. However if I then look at
the actual directory being shared, /usr/export, file foo is present.
This problem seems counterintuitive. I can provide logs and the
config if there isn't an obvious answer, however nothing in the logs
immediately grabs me.
As a background, I'm looking at alternatives to our Isilon
cluster, and all of our client servers are FreeBSD 7.0. I know that
is not currently a supported client OS, however GlusterFS would be a
seemingly good candidate for our needs and the fact writes actually
work is promising.

It would be useful to know which version you're using, and what your setup is. Posting your spec file and logs can help too.
