It is quite simple to set it up.
on server1:
find /mnt/raid/gfs -exec setfattr -n trusted.glusterfs.version -v 2 {} \;
Here "2" is a number greater than "1" which is the version of the attribute-less
file. It is set on both file and directories. There is no need to set the
trusted.glusterfs.createtime xattr.
on server2: (remove xattrs on the empty directory)
setfattr -x trusted.glusterfs.version /mnt/raid/gfs
setfattr -x trusted.glusterfs.createtime /mnt/raid/gfs
Please mail back in case there are still doubts.
