remain unchanged.
#### 7. ctime feature is enabled by default
The ctime feature which maintains (c/m) time consistency across replica and
disperse subvolumes is enabled by default.
Also, with this release, a single option is provided to enable/disable ctime
feature,
```
#gluster vol set <volname> ctime <on/off>
```
**NOTE:** The time information used is from clients, hence it's required that
clients are synced with respect to their times, using NTP or other such means.
**Limitations:**
- Mounting gluster volume with time attribute options (noatime, realatime...)
is not supported with this feature
- This feature does not guarantee consistent time for directories if the hashed
sub-volume for the directory is down
- Directory listing is not supported with this feature, and may report
inconsistent time information
- Older files created before upgrade, would witness update of ctime upon
accessing after upgrade [BUG:1593542](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1593542)
### Developer
#### 1. Gluster code can be compiled and executed using [TSAN](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSanitizer.html)
