Hi, after more digging on this issue, I found this thread:
http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2011-January/006455.html
and this bug-report:
http://bugs.gluster.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2304 and this
http://bugs.gluster.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2183 and many more.
Also, this patch http://patches.gluster.com/patch/6033/ is supposed to fix this
problem.
All of these reports claim that the problem is resolved since 3.1.3
We are using 3.2.0 and the problem ist still there. This somehow a pretty bad.
One suggestion for a workaround is to disable the access-control translator. The
suggestions also tells that one needs to edit the volfile by hand. I have read
around the documentation and everywhere it states that manual changes to volumes
are not persistent over subsequent "gluster" calls.
Some questions:
* are these bugs supposed to be solved in gluster 3.2.0?
* how can I make volfile changes persistent over subsequent "gluster"
calls?
* What are other implcations of disabling the access-control translator.
Thank you very much,
udo.
