Directly editing the files on backend is not supported. Most of the editors delete the original file and create a new-one when you edit a file. So the extended attributes that are stored on the old-file are gone. Pranith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel M?ller" <mueller at tropenklinik.de> To: "Pranith Kumar.

I edit the file on one node1-server (in /mnt/glusterfs/) changed the content, saved the file. Ssh to the node2-server there still old content. Did " find /mnt/glusterfs -print0 | xargs --null stat >/dev/null", still the same old content. Need to restart both servers the the new content is written to node2-server. And this equal behavior on both servers. A few days ago all was ok. ----------------------------------------------- EDV Daniel M?ller Leitung EDV Tropenklinik Paul-Lechler-Krankenhaus Paul-Lechler-Str. 24 72076 T?bingen Tel.: 07071/206-463, Fax: 07071/206-499 eMail: mueller at tropenklinik.de Internet: www.tropenklinik.de ----------------------------------------------- -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Pranith Kumar.

Did you edit the file on backend?. (or) Brought one server down and after editing brought the second server back up?.

But now when I create a file (ex: one.txt) in /mnt/glusterfs/ the file is replicated to the other node well. But after vim one.txt and changing the content of that file on one node. The changes are not replicated to the other node Until I restart both nodes. I did made a " find /mnt/glusterfs -print0 | xargs --null stat >/dev/null" with no success. Any Idea???
