I can only reply on the linux-specific part as I am no gluster expert :) On Wed, Feb 12, 2014 at 5:27 PM, Khoi Mai <KHOIMAI@xxxxxx> wrote: > In my 4 node gluster.

It is usually set in temporary directories like /tmp or /var/tmp For files I don't know if it has an actual meaning, but it's never used AFAIK. The ocotal permission of this file is "01000", and since it doesn't usually make much sense to have a file with *only* the sticky bit set, I would guess that something bad happened during the creation of the file, but I can't guess what. Is the brick ok? .a. -- antonio.s.messina@xxxxxxxxx antonio.messina@xxxxxx +41 (0)44 635 42 22 GC3: Grid Computing Competence Center http://www.gc3.uzh.ch/ University of Zurich Winterthurerstrasse 190 CH-8057 Zurich Switzerland _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
