Another observation. The error like "[fuse-bridge.c:436:fuse_entry_cbk] glusterfs-fuse: 264935: / => -1 (116)" appears whenever I touch any glusterFS subdirs. For example, each of the following commands cd /home; cd Shared; cd tmp results in the error mentioned. Note, that it always refers to the '/'. Despite the error the commands works as expected, but with noticeable lag. I think this behavior is somehow connected with that observed by Rohan http://www.mail-archive.com/gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxx/msg03328.html WBR, Andrey
