Update: ========= Build used: glusterfs-3.8.4-54.14.el7rhgs.x86_64 > Verified the scenarios in comment 3 and working as expected. Moving to verified.
> Previously, due to a bug in glusterd, the client-io-threads translator was not loaded in a replicated volume. Hence, executing the `gluster volume set <volname> client-io-threads on` command returned an incorrect success result. I don't think the 'Hence' is appropriate. The bug was not that client-io-threads translator was not loaded in a replicated volume by default. The problem was when you explicitly set it on, it returned success but still did not enable it/load it in the client graph.
