I cannot rm certain files and I see this in global.log: [2011-03-21 16:12:50.317110] W [fuse-bridge.c:905:fuse_unlink_cbk] 0-glusterfs-fuse: 686702: UNLINK() /endw/data/rel16/large/user.NoelDawe.00155569/optimized.group10.perf-tau.10404_003422.StreamD3PD_TauMEDIUM._00010.root => -1 (Invalid argument) Is there a known workaround other than manually deleting the files on each node? All the clocks are synced, if that eliminates anything that could cause this error.
