Re: [Gluster-devel] Occasional I/O error

[Krishna Srinivas]

Hi Snezhana,

What is happening is, when one node was down, an entry
(dir/file/symlink) was deleted and
another entry was created of different type. During selfheal this
condition is not being handled
and I/O error is being returned. We will take care of this in the
coming release. For now please
fix this by hand at the back end.

Thanks
Krishna
