Hi, Attached pls find the the server and client configuration file using the distibute and AFR+distribute translator. The distribute translator still return the different inode across the storage cluster. Below show the GlusterFS is 2.0.0.rc4 FSSERVER1:/var/log/glusterfs # glusterfs -V glusterfs 2.0.0rc4 built on Mar 20 2009 12:30:00 Repository revision: cb602a1d7d41587c24379cb2636961ab91446f86 + Copyright (c) 2006-2009 Z RESEARCH Inc. <http://www.zresearch.com> GlusterFS comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Or is that any method to have consistent device id and inode across cluster disk? Recent versions of Distribute return the same inode number consistently on all clients. Please upgrade. > Another question is how can I get Posix ACL support with GlusterFS? Currently Posix ACL is not supported Avati -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
