Hello With both 1.3.7 and TLA: I have a test AFR setup along the lines of: ### volume brickA type storage/posix option directory /stuff/brickA end-volume volume clientA type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 10.0.0.1 # On some other system option remote-subvolume brickA end-volume volume afrA type cluster/afr option replicate *:2 subvolumes brickA clientA end-volume volume server # exports brickA and afrA end-volume ### When a client mounts the AFR volume, files are not created on the storage/posix volume, only on the client volume. Symlink, mknod etc. still work. Adding a debug/trace over the storage/posix shows that lookup and symlink fops are being called on the brick, but no readv/writev and open calls. If another protocol/client translator is added that connects to the exported storage volume via the server, then everything works as expected. Any clues? -- Sam Douglas
