Fixed In Version: glusterfs-3.12.2-9
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, if symlinks were created by a non-privileged user pointing to the current directory on the master volume, geo-replication failed to sync them to slave. Instead of setting the permissions on the symlink, it used to dereference the symlink pointing to the virtual directory ".gfid" and failed with "Operation not supported" error. With this fix, geo-replication does not dereference symlink while setting permissions on file and syncs symlinks created by a non-privileged user pointing to the current directory.

Is this a duplicate of Bug 1565399?
Comment 11 Moses Muir 2018-04-20 07:50:10 UTC 
Thank you Kotresh.

Considering these issues are indeed the same, I understand that the RCA is outlined upstream at the following URL:

https://review.gluster.org/#/c/19872/

Can you please elaborate a bit on this RCA as the customer is requesting more specifics?

The customer is concerned that symlinks created last week are OK whereas symlinks created this week are problematic.  Also there is concern that a recent upgrade to RHGS 3.3 has triggered this scenario.
