Just use another directory than export. Or: setfattr -x trusted.glusterfs.volume-id $brick_path setfattr -x trusted.gfid $brick_path rm -rf $brick_path/.glusterfs 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 Von: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [mailto:gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] Im Auftrag von Olivier Desport Gesendet: Donnerstag, 22.

Any idea ? Thanks. --
