Description Mariusz Slonina 2010-06-24 15:05:50 UTC 
For my software I use Waf build system (http://code.google.com/p/waf/). The installation is performed with python shutil.copy2 function which works similar to cp -p. After that, installed files are not seen by the glusterfs. I tried to manually install files, by copying them both with cp and cp -p. The result for cp -p is the same as for shutil.copy2(). Copying with cp works ok. I checked the logs, but there is no information about any problems with copy.

Version of GlusterFS is 3.0.4 on Gentoo x86_64

This issue also prevents compiling and installing files from the git repository, thus, to use code on a cluster, I need first copy all repo, which is not a pretty way...

We were not able to reproduce the issue in-house.

Could you change the log-level to TRACE and provide the logs when the issue is seen again.

Also, is the cp option -p or -P ?

When -P is used, a symlink is copied as a Symlink. With -p, it is copied as a file. 

With regards,
Shishir

please reopen the bug if reproduced along with logs with loglevel TRACE or DEBUG.

With regards,
