Gluster users - Dec 2013 - I have a question about gluster and lessfs

Hi, 

I'm afraid I don't really know how to approach this issue, so I'm
copying gluster-users. Is lessfs a disk filesystem on its own? Or does is work
with disk filesystems underneath, such as ext4, XFS, etc.?

Making an uneducated guess, I would bet that lessfs doesn't support extended
attributes. Check your client and brick logs.
