Description of problem: When creating a unix domain socket on a Gluster/NFS mountpoint, the socket gets created as a fifo/pipe instead of a socket. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mainline How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount a gluster volume over NFS 2. create a socket, like: socat UNIX-LISTEN:$N0/not-a-fifo.socket - 3. check the type of the new socket with ls or stat Actual results: "stat -c %F" returns "fifo" instead of "socket". Expected results: "stat -c %F" should return "socket". Additional info: reported on IRC by teknologeek https://botbot.me/freenode/gluster/2015-06-22/?msg=42565428&page=3

Hi. I'm experiencing the exact same problem with Gluster 3.5.2 (Debian Package) and it's preventing my HA Proxmox Containers to operate properly (see http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/22767-var-log-not-working-in-containers) Is there any workaround or trick possible to avoid the problem?
Fix for this BZ is already present in a GlusterFS release. You can find clone of this BZ, fixed in a GlusterFS release and closed. Hence closing this mainline BZ as well.
This bug is getting closed because a release has been made available that should address the reported issue. In case the problem is still not fixed with glusterfs-3.8.0, please open a new bug report. glusterfs-3.8.0 has been announced on the Gluster mailinglists [1], packages for several distributions should become available in the near future. Keep an eye on the Gluster Users mailinglist [2] and the update infrastructure for your distribution.
