craig et al, I have a 2 brick distributed 283GB gluster cluster on CentoOS 5. we nfs mounted the cluster from a 3rd machine and wrote random junk to a file. i watched the file grow to 200GB on the cluster when it appeared to stop. however the machine writing to the file still lists the file as growing. it's now at over 320GB. what's going on? -matt ------- Matt Hodson Scientific Customer Support, Geospiza (206) 633-4403, Ext. 111 http://www.geospiza.com
