+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1697907 +++ Description of problem: Considering ctime is a client side feature, we can't blindly load ctime xlator into the client graph if it's explicitly turned off, that'd result into backward compatibility issue where an old client can't mount a volume configured on a server which is having ctime feature. Since ctime feature is enabled by default, any old client would still fail to connect to a new server until and unless this feature is turned off explicitly. Any client side feature when marked as enabled by default means there's a need to either turn of the feature if old client is to be made work with new servers or client needs to be upgraded to the latest version of server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Server >= release-6, client <= release-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a volume on glusterfs-5 or higher 2. Mount the volume from a client which is running any version lower than glusterfs-5 3. Mount doesn't go through Actual results: Mount fails Expected results: Mount shouldn't fail Additional info: --- Additional comment from Worker Ant on 2019-04-09 09:48:09 UTC --- REVIEW: https://review.gluster.org/22536 (glusterd: load ctime in the client graph only if it's not turned off) posted (#1) for review on master by Atin Mukherjee --- Additional comment from Worker Ant on 2019-04-10 03:27:13 UTC --- REVIEW: https://review.gluster.org/22536 (glusterd: load ctime in the client graph only if it's not turned off) merged (#1) on master by Atin Mukherjee
