Indeed, that was my bug. Please review my fix: http://review.gluster.org/#/c/6539/ Perhaps we could add a trap in the build environment so that people do not commit this bug again? Something like this in a header file: #ifdef HAVE_LINKAT #define link(a,b) please_use_linkat_instead_of_link(a,b) #endif -- Emmanuel Dreyfus m...@netbsd.org _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
