Dear all, I recently upgraded my clients to 10.4, while I left the servers (distrubuted only) on glusterfs 9. I'm seeing a strange effect when I do a "mv filename1 filename2": filename2 is uplicated, one time with zero size and sticky bit set. In generally, I know that glusterfs creates link files (size zero and sticky bit set) when the new filename is hashed to a different brick. However, these link files are only visible to the glusterfsd, not to the users. I also noted that now the "link files" have an additional attibute (glusterfs.mdata) and previously link files stored the "real" brick name in "glusterfs.dht.linkto". Therefore, I have a two of questions: 1) Is this a bug, or is it intentionally that glusterfs 10 clients don't work with glusterfs 9 servers? 2) If it's not a bug, how does the attribute "glusterfs.mdata" store the "real" brick name? best wishes, Stefan ________ Community Meeting Calendar: Schedule - Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at 14:30 IST / 09:00 UTC Bridge: https://meet.google.com/cpu-eiue-hvk Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
