This might be our setup but I thought I should mention it.
We have three machines in a gluster -- two CentOS 5 machines running 3.0.0 RPMS
and a Solaris 10 machine running the latest version (yesterday) from the GIT
repository. The Solaris machine uses a ZFS partition so we can take snapshots
of what is going on on the other machines (which are development machines).
Issues are arising with files which are symlinked into the gluster which are
outside the gluster but do not exist on the Solaris machine. I can replicate
the problem like this:
mkdir fred
cd fred
ln -s /var/tmp/this-does-not-exist
ls -l
shows no files
ls -l this-does-not-exist
lrwxrwxrwx 1 shb widearea 28 Feb 8 13:07 this-does-not-exist ->
/var/tmp/this-does-not-exist
and on the Solaris machine we get the error:
[2010-02-08 13:07:51] E [posix.c:1834:posix_symlink] posix: lstat failed on
/common/fred/this-does-not-exist: No such file or directory
I can 'cure' the problem by removing the Solaris machine and I cannot duplicate
this on our other, pure CentOS, gluster.
This looks like a Solaris issue but I cannot see why from looking at the code.
I guess the real question is whether any one else can reproduce this bug using
Solaris or whether (as it is quite weird) something to do with us.
TIA
