We have two servers each with ZFS running in raidz on three hard drives of the same size and glusterFS between the two servers. The ZFS has two filesystems tank and tank/home each created using zfs create and GlusterFS is mounted based on the tank/home filesystem to /mnt. At this point everything works great but when I then run zfs create tank/home/virtual and then cd to /mnt/virtual and run ls I get the errors i reported to printed to the command line.
