But when one does 'readdir()' (ie, ls), those files are hidden, and only the valid entry is shown from the Shard xlator in the graph. Now, when shard is disabled, these files are exposed directly on the mountpoint, confusing the user, and making the previously successfully written files inaccessible. Hope this helps you to understand why disabling Shard once enabled is hard! -Amar > Thanks. > > -- > Danti Gionatan > Supporto Tecnico > Assyoma S.r.l. - www.assyoma.it [1] > email: [email protected] - [email protected] > GPG public key ID: FF5F32A8 > ________ > > > > Community Meeting Calendar: > > Schedule - > Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at 14:30 IST / 09:00 UTC > Bridge: https://bluejeans.com/441850968 > > Gluster-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users > -- -- https://kadalu.io Container Storage made easy!
