Description of problem:
========================

While trying to create the hardlink of a file from the fuse mount, it fails to create with reason "no such file and directory". But with the retrial of the link creation it is successful.

For Example:
============

1. Failed to create the hardlink in the first attempt:

[root@wingo vol0]# ls
host.conf  hosts  hosts.allow  hosts.deny
[root@wingo vol0]#
[root@wingo vol0]# ln host.conf a
ln: creating hard link `a' => `host.conf': No such file or directory
[root@wingo vol0]#

2. But Subsequent attempts are successful.

[root@wingo vol0]# ln host.conf a
[root@wingo vol0]# 
[root@wingo vol0]# ls
a  host.conf  hosts  hosts.allow  hosts.deny
[root@wingo vol0]# 


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

glusterfs-3.4.1.snap.jan15.2014git-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
=================
Always on my configuration

Steps to Reproduce:
===================
1. Create a hardlink of a file

Actual results:
===============

Failed to create hard links from the fuse mount for first time and subsequent attempts are successful

Expected results:
=================

Hardlink should be successful.

Additional info:
================

Absolutely no logs were logged in any of the gluster logs or dmesg.

Strace of one such attempt is as follows:
