Hi

I notice an oddity on the backends: for many files, I have an empty shadow
file with mode 01000 on the other dht brick:


Is that a bug or a feature? :-)

Hi Emmanuel,

Yes, it is a feature. Some of the mail thread which talks about this are here. (There should be many more about stickybit files).

For now, only thing you should be checking is if that '--------T' perm file has a extended attribute with 'trusted.glusterfs.dht-linkto' key.
