Hi, after more digging on this issue, I found this thread: http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2011-January/006455.html and this bug-report: http://bugs.gluster.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2304 and this http://bugs.gluster.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2183 and many more. Also, this patch http://patches.gluster.com/patch/6033/ is supposed to fix this problem. All of these reports claim that the problem is resolved since 3.1.3 We are using 3.2.0 and the problem ist still there. This somehow a pretty bad. One suggestion for a workaround is to disable the access-control translator. The suggestions also tells that one needs to edit the volfile by hand. I have read around the documentation and everywhere it states that manual changes to volumes are not persistent over subsequent "gluster" calls. Some questions: * are these bugs supposed to be solved in gluster 3.2.0? * how can I make volfile changes persistent over subsequent "gluster" calls? * What are other implcations of disabling the access-control translator. Thank you very much, udo.
