Description of problem: ======================= In the following scenario, the sync of hardlinks do not happen to slave. Scenario 1: 1. Create geo-rep between master and slave 2. Mount the volume 3. Create a file (file1) 4. Let the file sync to slave 5. kill one set of replica for a subvolume containing file1 6. create a hardlink of file1 (ln file1 file2).=> Ensure that the file2 hashes to the same subvolume of file1 7. Start the master volume forcefully to heal file2 . Wait for heal to happen 8. Kill the other set of the replica (than the step 5) 9. Start the geo-replication In the above scenario the hardlinks are not synced to slave and there are no errors. Scenario 2: Step 1 to Step 5 remains same 6. create a hardlink of file1 (ln file1 file2).=> Ensure that the file2 hashes to the different subvolume of file1 Step 7 to Step 8 remains same In this scenario, sync happens as follows: a. If both the bricks active are (selfhealed bricks) which has recoreded MKNOD. Sync happens. b. If the self healed brick containing MKNOD for sticky bit file becomes PASSIVE, hardlinks are not synced. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ============================================================= mainline How reproducible: ================= Always with the above steps.
