Description Dan Lambright 2015-05-08 19:38:34 UTC 
We whould not migrate linkto and commit-hash xattrs on tier promotion/demotion. If we do this, we risk referring to a subvolume that does not exist on the destination tier.
Comment 1 Dan Lambright 2015-05-12 13:22:17 UTC 
It does not appear the linkto xattr is transferred on file migration. 

        /* remove the 'linkto' xattr from the destination */
        ret = syncop_fremovexattr (to, dst_fd, conf->link_xattr_name, 0, NULL);
        if (ret) {
                gf_log (this->name, GF_LOG_WARNING,
                        "%s: failed to perform removexattr on %s (%s)",
                        loc->path, to->name, strerror (-ret));
                ret = -1;
        }
