Description of problem: On the mountpoint, creation of .glusterfs is not permitted, but creation of any directory .glusterfs_hidden or .glusterfs_blah_blah is permitted. So the creation succeeds but won't be listed in ls -a. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): git master How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create and start any volume. 2. Mount the volume and create a dir called .glusterfs_hidden 3. Run ls -a on mountpoint. Actual results: .glusterfs_hidden won't be listed. Expected results: .glusterfs_hidden directory should be listed in ls -a. Additional info:
CHANGE: http://review.gluster.com/2910 (posix_fill_readdir: Using strcmp to compare GF_HIDDEN_PATH with entry->d_name instead of strncmp.) merged in master by Vijay Bellur (vijay)
Now the .glusterfs_hidden or .glusterfs_abc can be created and ls -a lists teh entries. Moving to closed upstream.
