[Gluster-users] ZFS (zfsonlinux) xattr=sa mode will corrupt symlinks
For anyone out there running gluster on top of ZFS, I ran across a bug in zfsonlinux's SA code that causes symlinks that have a target path greater than 16 characters to get corrupted as xattr data gets added to the inode. Obviously, this doesn't play nice with gluster. https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/1648 There's a simple patch (workaround) that essentially forces symlinks to use the normal 'dir' style xattr format while they go back and fix the underlying SA code. Just wanted folks to know. Todd
