...my shrunk volume. According to the master_list.txt file I created recently during the GFID error fixing process, the volume in question has ~1.2 million paths, but "fix-layout VOLNAME status" shows that twice this number of layouts have been fixed already.

Hello, Thanks to "partner" on IRC who told me about this (quite big) problem. Apparently in a distributed setup once a brick fills up you start getting write failures. Is there a way to work around this? I would have thought gluster would check for free space before writing to a brick. It's very easy to test, I created a distributed volume from 2 uneven bricks and started to

...dor's view is that rsync is safe, but a large amount of continuous GlusterFS file synchronisation is not. I would be happy to use the rsync approach if it keeps the servers running, as long as it doesn't ruin my xattrs. Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated. Regards Dan Bretherton.
