Can you confirm that this still happens with a tla checkout from '
glusterfs--mainline--2.4' ? we have tested vim to be working. which version
of vi have you tried with? also is there a confirmed pattern in the file
permission/ownership which is causing this? since the coredump seems to be
in unify_getxattr_cbk, can you also check if the file has any extended
attributes from the backend fs?
thanks!

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!

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
