I had checked for extended attributes using ~# getfattr -d /disk/storage1/safe ~# and found nothing, but it turns out I need to override the default -m pattern: ~# getfattr -m- -d /disk/storage1/safe getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: disk/storage1/safe trusted.gfid=0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQ== trusted.glusterfs.volume-id=0sR6jzJg5ISnGc/vnvjVVdtw== Regards, Brian.
