Description Nag Pavan Chilakam 2015-09-04 07:31:11 UTC 
Description of problem:
======================
while doing IOs, I attached a tier, and found that the new file creates are still going to cold tier.
Also, after some time, when the volume was idle, I did a new set of file creates, but still these file creates were still going to cold tier.

The vol was mounted on nfs.

Note: I didnt do any other file ops like read dir, ls,etc

I do not see this happening with current code, and it is something we test on a regular basis with automated tests. Lets discuss this one in scrum.
Comment 2 Dan Lambright 2015-10-02 14:04:49 UTC 
On step 2 we are attaching a tier while IO is happening. This functionality does not work yet and may (possibly) explain the observed behavior. 

So I would recommend to leave this open. And revisit this bug once attach tier is working (or we decide not to allow IO while attaching a tier).
Comment 4 Nag Pavan Chilakam 2016-01-04 12:12:38 UTC 
it works now
