3) Perform below tasks simultaneously from multiple clients,
     a) From client-1, touch -->  for i in {1..20000};do touch f$i;done
     b) From client-2, create hard links for the created files , for i in {1..20000};do ln f$i fl$i;done
     c) From client-3, change the permissions for the created files, for i in {1..20000};do chmod 660 f$i;done
     d) From client-4, do a continuous lookup.
5) While the tasks in step-4 are in progress, add few bricks to the volume and start rebalance.
Wait till step-4 and step-5 completes.
Check the created files and hard links count.

Comment 13 Prasad Desala 2017-01-02 06:30:04 UTC
Repeated the steps in the description thrice with glusterfs version 3.8.4-10.el7rhgs.x86_64. I did not see any hardlink loss, all the created hardlinks are available post rebalance.

Moving this BZ to Verified.
