We have a distributed volume, and had a rather large (> 50TB) folder that was 
no longer needed.  Naively, we removed the folder from the brick instead of 
through the Gluster client.

You can probably see where this is going.  We didn’t actually reclaim the space 
because of the hard links to .glusterfs, and now we need to figure out how to 
clean up.

Is it sufficient to simply check whether a file under .glusterfs has less than 
2 hard links, something like:

find .glusterfs -type f -links -2 -exec rm {} \;

Or do we have to do something else?  Any help is much appreciated.
