File size as reported on the mount point and the bricks can vary because of this code snippet in iatt_from_stat():

        {
                uint64_t maxblocks;

                maxblocks = (iatt->ia_size + 511) / 512;

                if (iatt->ia_blocks > maxblocks)
                        iatt->ia_blocks = maxblocks;
        }


This snippet was brought in to improve accounting behaviour for quota that would fail with disk file systems that perform speculative pre-allocation.

If this aides only specific use cases, I think we should make the behaviour configurable.

Thoughts?

Hi,

When I upload files into the gluster volume, it replicates all the files
to both gluster nodes. But the file size slightly varies by (4-10KB),
which changes the md5sum of the file.

Command to check file size : du –k *. I’m using glusterFS 3.3.1 with
Centos 6.4

This is creating inconsistency between the files on both the bricks. ?
What is the reason for this changed file size and how can it be avoided. ?

Thanks & Regards,

*Bobby Jacob*
