All machines are synchronized correctly, I'm already using ntp for a long
time. There is nowhere else a 1970-01-01 etc. timestamp in the whole system,
but inside the underlying exported directories that the GlusterFS servers
use, some files have this timestamp - as described earlier. If this is not
intended explicitly, then I think this is a bug happening when files are
automatically replicated to other nodes.
