Hi,

I'm fairly new to gluster so please forgive me if I'm in any way out of 
protocol for this list.

I have a distributed volume with 2 servers hosting bricks and a third just 
managing the system.
I really want root squashing, as there are a large number of clients and I do 
not want a bad keystroke on one to wipe out the contents of the gluster 
file-system.
I'm using gluster 3.7.10 on Scientific Linux 6.7.

I just cannot get gluster to work properly for normal users with root-squashing 
enabled.  The problem is easiest to reproduce if one creates a directory with 
mkdir, creates a file with say 'echo hi > filename' and then tries to rename 
the latter to place it in the former using mv.  This fails about 50% of the 
time.  My reading suggests that it occurs when gluster decides to move the file 
from one brick to another as it renames it.  rebalance and fix-layout have been 
run, but have long finished and the problem persists.

I've spent a fair amount of time googling this issue and it's clearly not 
unprecedented, but it's supposedly fixed long before  v3.7.10.
I really would appreciate it if somebody could rescue me.  For the moment I'm 
running with server.root-squash turned off.

Thanks,

Matt.
