--- original message copied from archive --- Hi there, I get a (rather odd) repeatable bug; if I have a file with permissions -rw-r--r-- (644), and edit it using "vi", I get: E297: Write error in swap file E207: Can't delete backup file E138: Can't write viminfo file /home/scmijg/.viminfo! Next thing you know, glusterfs has core dumped. I've run it in non-daemon mode, and "DEBUG" level - no messages, apart from along the lines of "glibc detected" and "free(): invalid next size (fast)" I dropped the core into gdb, ran a backtrace and it listed "unify_getxattr_cbk" in "unify.so" as the culprit. Looks like pointer corruption? The config is 4 hosts, all hosting their local HDs apart from 1 machine which is hosting an external (USB) drive in addition. Everything running RHEL, all machines AMD Opteron dual-core... Anyone else had this trouble? Otherwise, with other access, Gluster seems OK... Very odd. Say, using "vi" with a file permissions of "-rwxr-xr-x" works fine... Thanks for any help! Ian ----------------- Hi Ian, I've got the same problem. I tested with v1.2.3 about 3 months ago and re-tested with 1.3.0-pre4 this week. My config is running on "VM-Ware Linux-FC6" virtual machines. I've created 3 servers and one client. Normal copy-operations work beautiful. Using vi leads to the same problems as you're experiencing. For me this is a show-stopper. Basic file-editing is a must for me. I've got no suggestion for a solution. Should I find something I'll post it to the list. Regards, Ton
