Re: [Gluster-devel] upstream: Symbolic link not getting healed

[Harshavardhana]

Sure, there could be a custom 3.4.2 build on which they can continue to operate till the problem gets fixed and tested thoroughly in 3.4.3. As I mentioned in my OP, the current fix causes self-healing of symbolic links to fail and this can potentially cause data loss. This has far more serious consequences than a particular workload failing through libgfapi.

We have delayed 3.4.2 by a fair while and I don't think we can afford to hold it back further. We can consider releasing 3.4.3 soon after the errno issue gets fixed properly and we have adequate test coverage on that. For now the only option is to revert this patch.

Fair enough, i will communicate this with them - will keep a custom build with 3.4.2 :-) 

Thanks
