hi Udo,
The bug you are referring to (2296) was experienced only on fuse clients. With nfs, it is not observed. In your setup its behavior is wrong on both the clients, so it is not the same bug.
* how can I make volfile changes persistent over subsequent "gluster" calls?
There is an enhancement planned for this - (2014).
* What are other implcations of disabling the access-control translator.
If you use only fuse client, no implications. The fix for 2296 does the same. So In my opinion you will still face the same problem.
Is it possible for you to give me the exact test case so that I can reproduce the problem in my setup and find out what the root cause is.
Please give me both the outputs with and without missing entries.
Pranith.

Subject: Re: non-root owned files/dirs not shown
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.
