Good morning, I am trying out glusterfs to have a file system mirrored across two nodes on Vmware guests. After installing the latest glusterfs version 3.4.2-1 on both servers and client I am experiencing a strange issue. When extracting the Linux kernel source, the symbolic links are being replaced by empty files. With the read-hash-mode option set to 1, the number of symlinks replaced decreased from 3 to 2, but apparently the issue is not solved. A further observation is that if I shut down one node, everything works fine. Any pointers on how to solve this issue?
