• Does a mapping exist on the client between username & UID to allow different UID's from different nodes to read and write content to the same Glusterfs volume ?

• Does gluster have feature to club range of UID's to a common UID from different users & nodes ?

Translate-uid:   501-1000=10000, 1000-1999=10001

• Unable to write a file with different UID's on the same gluster volume as,
