Description Cal Calhoun 2016-10-11 15:11:36 UTC 
Description of problem:

  Output of glusterfind includes directories so passing that output to a backup program effectively ignores file lists.  Request an output option similar to 'find -type t' to only output filenames.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  RHGS 3.1.3

How reproducible:

  Requested feature.
Comment 2 Milind Changire 2016-11-07 07:30:34 UTC 
Some post-processing could be added on glusterfind output outside of glusterfind to weed out directories. All "NEW ..." entries could be tested for the directory flag as:

while read line;
do
    op=$(echo $line | cut -f 1 -d ' ')
    if [ "$op" == "NEW" ]; then
        name=$(echo $line | cut -f 2 -d ' ')
        # if the name doesn't point to a directory, we'll keep it
        if [ ! -d "$name" ]; then
            echo $line
        fi
    else
        echo $line
    fi
done < glusterfind-output.txt

Please note that the above script doesn't handle encoded paths in glusterfind output and needs appropriate handling if need be.

Can we get a PM ack and move forward with this to 3.5.1?
