Description of problem: ======================= When we generate output file we convert "/" to %2F which is correctly working incase of NEW as: [root@georep1 ~]# cat rh5.txt NEW %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting NEW %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%2Fa NEW %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%2Ffile.1 NEW %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%2Ffile.9 NEW %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%2Ffile.6 NEW %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%2Ffile.2 NEW %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%2Ff8 NEW %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%2Ff9 But incase of delete we add %252F for "/" as: [root@georep1 ~]# cat rh6.txt DELETE %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%252Ffile.9 DELETE %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%252Ff9 [root@georep1 ~]# If you consume these log file for backup, the deletes will not provide the actual path and it will error as "no such file or directory" Example for conversion: ======================= bash-4.3$ python Python 2.7.8 (default, Apr 15 2015, 09:26:43) [GCC 4.9.2 20150212 (Red Hat 4.9.2-6)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import urllib >>> li = [urllib.unquote('%2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%252Ffile.9')] >>> li ['/mnt/glusterfs/testing%2Ffile.9'] >>> li = [urllib.unquote_plus('%2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%252Ffile.9')] >>> li ['/mnt/glusterfs/testing%2Ffile.9'] >>> li = [urllib.unquote_plus('%2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%2Ffile.9')] >>> li ['/mnt/glusterfs/testing/file.9'] >>> The convention used for NEW entry is successfully converted into path, but the convention used for DELETE needs to unquote twice to get the list. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ============================================================= glusterfs-3.7.1-14.el7rhgs.x86_64 How reproducible: ================= Always Steps to Reproduce: =================== 1. Create glusterfind session 2. Create directory and file inside it 3. Generate output file {glusterfind pre} 4. Glusterfind post 5. Delete the file created at step 2 6. Generate output file {glusterfind pre} 7. Observe the convention used for NEW at step 3 vs DELETE at step 6 Actual results: For NEW: ======= NEW %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%2Ffile.9 For DELETE: =========== DELETE %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%252Ffile.9 Expected results: For NEW: ======= NEW %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%2Ffile.9 For DELETE: =========== DELETE %2Fmnt%2Fglusterfs%2Ftesting%2Ffile.9
