Fixed In Version: glusterfs-3.8.4-54.12
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, when an application sent fsync on a sharded file, the shards associated with the file were not being synced to disk. Hence, potentially causing data loss in case of a plain distribute shard volume. This update fixes the shard translator by syncing all the modified shards to disk whenever the application sends an fsync.

Krutika - Can you please provide doc text for this bug?
Comment 5 SATHEESARAN 2018-07-05 13:18:10 UTC 
Tested with glusterfs-3.8.4-54.13.el7rhgs with the following steps:

1. Created few VMs with their images on the distribute volume
2. Started all the VMs and installed OS on them.
3. Triggered lot of fsyncs inside the VM
4. Ran I/O inside them for few hours

There were no issues seen.

Not the requestee but the doc text seems a little too technical. I do not understand the impact of not having this fix in the code to the end user.
Were distribute volumes supported in earlier releases? If not, perhaps the doc text is not required at all.
