Hi,

What version of gluster are you using?
Also, could you share your volume configuration (`gluster volume info`)?

      Hello Ravishankar,
        Thanks for introducing the sharding feature to me.
        It does seems to resolve the problem i was encountering
          earlier. But I have 1 question, do we expect the checksum of
          the file to be different if i copy from directory A to a
          shard-enabled volume?

    No the checksums must match. Perhaps Krutika who works on Sharding
    (CC'ed) can help you figure out why that isn't the case here.

               Does the mount log give you more information? It
              it was a disk full issue, the error you would get is
              ENOSPC and not EIO. This looks like something else.

                    I know, we have experts in this mailing list.
                      And, i assume, this is a common situation where
                      many Gluster users may have encountered.  The
                      worry i have what if you have a big VM file
                      sitting on top of Gluster volume ...?

               It is recommended to use sharding (http://blog.gluster.org/2015/12/introducing-shard-translator/)
              for VM workloads to alleviate these kinds of issues.

                    Any insights will be much appreciated.
