Hi, I recently debugged a problem [1] where linkfiles were not created properly a gluster volume created using bricks running UFS . Whenever a linkfile was created, the sticky bit was not set on it causing the same file to be listed twice.
>From https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=chmod&sektion=2 The FreeBSD VM system totally ignores the sticky bit (S_ISVTX) for executables. On UFS-based file systems (FFS, LFS) the sticky bit may only be set upon directories. Based on this I do not think we can support UFS bricks for gluster volumes. However, I have not worked with FreeBSD so I would like folks who have to let me know if this is correct or if there is something I am missing. I was able to force the sticky bit on a file using a testfile attached to [1] but it is not straightforward and I am reluctant to propose this. Thanks, Nithya [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1176011
