Persistent File Staleness Errors in GlusterFS Volume about glusterfs

Remount the mount and check if the issue persists. How was the file cleaned up? Was it deleted from the mount or from the backend brick? Please share the steps to cleanup the file.

Have remounted it multiple times. It still persists.

Files were cleaned up from the Mounted folder, not from the brick.

Steps Followed for File Cleanup:

1. We created a Golang utility function that finds files older than a certain date and deletes them.
2. After deleting files, we encountered an issue regarding file staleness and found that we had to delete the associated folders as well.
3. We deleted folders of the deleted files.
4. We still encountered NFS file stale error.
5. We created a new folder in the same GlusterFS mounted directory, and after a few days, we encountered the same issue; we didn't delete any files at all.
