Description of problem: On a EC/replica volume, the mdata xattr is expected to be same. But it's different. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mainline How reproducible: Mostly Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create 2*(4+2) gluster disperse volume 2. Mount the volume 3. Create 1000 directories Actual results: The value of trusted.glusterfs.mdata is different on different subvolume of replica/EC set. Expected results: The value of trusted.glusterfs.mdata should be same on different subvolume of replica/EC set. Additional info:

COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/20281 committed in master by "Amar Tumballi" <amarts> with a commit message- posix/ctime: Fix differential ctime duing entry operations We should not be relying on backend file's time attributes to load the initial ctime time attribute structure. This is incorrect as each replica set would have witnessed the file creation at different times. For new file creation, ctime, atime and mtime should be same, hence initiate the ctime structure with the time from the frame. But for the files which were created before ctime feature is enabled, this is not accurate but still fine as the times would get eventually accurate. fixes: bz#1592275 Change-Id: I206a469c83ee7b26da2fe096ae7bf8ff5986ad67 Signed-off-by: Kotresh HR <khiremat>
