Any more to this thread? I don't mean to nag, but this seems like a pretty serious issue.
Did you get a chance to try this test case when write-behind translator is disabled?

gluster volume set <volname> performance.write-behind off

How can I help?

I don't think I have these enabled. How can I confirm that?

The only reason O_APPEND gets stripped on the server side, is because of one of the following xlators:

- stripe
- quiesce
- crypt

If you have any of these, please try unloading/reconfiguring without these features and try again.

Thanks

I was able to narrow it down to smallish python script.

I've attached that to the bug.
