Description of problem:

When migrating approx 1 GB of data data by doing 

  gluster volume add-brick test new-host1:/path/to/new/brick ...
  gluster volume remove-brick old-host1:/path/to/old/brick ... start
  ... wait for removal to finish
  gluster volume remove-brick old-host1:/path/to/old/brick ... commit

on a 3*4 -> 6*4 -> 3*4 gluster [version  3.7dev-0.9.git5b8de97] approximately
40% of the symlinks change their mtime to the time they were copied. 


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

3.7dev-0.9.git5b8de97

How reproducible:

Unknown (once so far), will try to come up with a reproducible (and hopefully smaller) test case.
