Description of problem: After creating a directory tree and running rm -rf * on mounpoint, I still see broken symlink in .glusterfs in back-end i.e. symlink with destination missing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glusterfs-3.3.0qa23 How reproducible: 1/1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create and start a 2*2 distrep volume. 2. Create a dirctory tree on the mounpoint mkdir -p `perl -e "print 'a/' x 2045"` 2. Run rm -rf * on mountpoint and meanwhile add 4 more bricks to make it 4*2 distributed-replicated volume. 3. Meanwhile run rebalance which says rebalance not started message but completes the rebalance (at least it seems to have completed). 4. When rm -rf completes, check in back-end .glusterfs directory of newly added bricks for stale symlinks. Actual results: Stale symlink was found in the back-end .glusterfs of newly added bricks. Old bricks doesn't have this stale symlink.

Additional info: I did run rebalance once more after rm -rf return and this time rebalance completed. But stale symlink was still present in the .glusterfs of newly added bricks.
Can you please check, if this bug is still valid? I am not able to reproduce the issue.
With the glusterfs-3.3.0qa35, I didn't find the stale gfid's in .glusterfs back-end. But rebalance didn't completed though.
Can you please provide rebalance logs?
Just checked, rebalance completed now. But took long time to complete. And even after completion didn't find the stale gfid's in .glusterfs back-end.
Created attachment 578873 [details] rabalance logs Attaching the rebalance log anyway.
Rebalance took bit longer time to complete. And didn't found the stale gfid's in the back-end. So moving it to closed upstream.
