Emmanuel, I have submitted the fix for review: http://review.gluster.com/3380 I have not tested the fix with "/" having EA disabled. It would be great if you could confirm the looping forever doesn't happen with this fix. thanks, krish ----- Original Message ----- From: "Emmanuel Dreyfus" <manu@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "Krishnan Parthasarathi" <kparthas@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2012 1:41:04 PM Subject: Re: 3.3 requires extended attribute on / Krishnan Parthasarathi <kparthas@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > It is strange that the you see glusterd_path_in_use() loop forever.

Here is my setup when I tried that: / with EA enabled /export/wd3a ibrick with EA enabled But I may have been testing with an untintended patch in glusterd_path_in_use(). I will retry with the right fix once it will be available. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz manu@xxxxxxxxxx
