Description of problem: If a test case is as follows: .... fs = glfs_init(); .... glfs_mkdir(fs, "dir1", 0755); /* dir1 being relative to the root of the volume*/ ... glfs_fini(); The above test case fails for the below reason: glfs_init() does not set the cwd to be "/", Hence with this patch the expectation would be that the path should be absolute always for a file directory under "/". i.e. the below statement succeeds: glfs_mkdir (fs, "/dir1", 0755); Expecting absolute patch for any file directly under "/", may break the existing users. Two possible fixes: In glfs_init(), set fs->cwd to "/", not sure if there can be other cases where it can be unset. In glfs_resolve_path() even if glfs_cwd_get() returns NULL, call priv_glfs_resolve_at() as it handles that case.

COMMIT: http://review.gluster.org/9744 committed in master by Niels de Vos (ndevos) ------ commit 5dc152aac25ac7680ce0f83edc580d2a953d27a7 Author: Poornima G <pgurusid> Date: Wed Feb 25 15:44:59 2015 +0530 libgfapi: In glfs_init() set the cwd to "/". Initially, when the cwd is NULL, while resolving a relative path, it was taken to be relative from the root of the volume. But this behaviour changed with the patch: http://review.gluster.org/#/c/9671/ with this patch, if cwd is NULL, all the fops on the files (given relative path) under root directory will fail. Hence, setting the cwd to "/" during glfs_init() itself.
