On NetBSD and FreeBSD, doing a 'gluster volume start $volume force' causes NFS server, quotad, snapd and glustershd to be undetected by glusterd once the volume has restarted. 'gluster volume status' shows the three processes as 'N' in the online column, while they have been launched successfully. This happens because glusterd attempts to connect to its child processes just between the child does a unlink() on the socket in __socket_server_bind() and the time it calls bind() and listen(). Different scheduling policy may explain why the problem does not happen on Linux, but it may pop up some day since we make no guaranteed assumptions here. This patchet works this around by introducing a boolean transport.socket.ignore-enoent option, set by nfs and glustershd, which prevents ENOENT to be fatal and cause glusterd to retry and suceed later. Behavior of other clients is unaffected.
