Description of problem: ======================== I issued a direct commit force on a tier volume with IOs happening (say file creates of 10000). the new file creates for many files failed during the commit phase as below touch: cannot touch ‘f995’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f996’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f997’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f998’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f999’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f1000’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f1001’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f1002’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f1003’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f1004’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f1005’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f1006’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f1007’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f1008’: Transport endpoint is not connected touch: cannot touch ‘f1009’: Transport endpoint is not connected However, files continued with creation after certain point. In my case i did a touch of f{1..10000} and issued detach-tier force commit. files f840 to f1019 failed to created with transport end point error. the files from f1020 till f10000 got created [root@zod ~]# gluster --version glusterfs 3.7.4 built on Sep 19 2015 01:30:43 Repository revision: git://git.gluster.com/glusterfs.git Copyright (c) 2006-2011 Gluster Inc. <http://www.gluster.com> GlusterFS comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

I believe an I/O error is unavoidable because the 'commit force' erases the tier translator in the middle of an I/O. Its job is to detach the tier immediately regardless of what else is happening. Based on that I would not call this a bug- the force option is dangerous but is working as intended. Lets discuss in scrum to make a final decision on what to do about this.
