Good morning,

I have an intermittent problem that I can not solve and today I ask for your help because I have no more idea. I have two Apache/PHP web servers (the clients) that use GlusterFS volumes via NFS (NFS-Ganesha) as data disks. The problem is that sometimes files saved to the server via PHP applications are not visible. Sometimes it's one of the two clients who doesn't see them, other times it's both clients. It's random because in general, everything works well. When I realize that a file is in trouble, I go to the directory “cd /data/folder” and I do an “ls -l”. I have no warnings or errors in the log files (clients and servers)

Do you have any ideas or ways to help me solve this problem?

Here's some informations. Let me know if you need anything else to help me. Thank you so much
