Udo, it occurs to me that if your VM's were running on #2 & #3 and you 
live migrated them to #1 prior to rebooting #2/3, then you would indeed 
rapidly get progressive VM corruption.

However it wouldn't be due to the heal process, but rather the live 
migration with "performance.stat-prefetch" on. This always leads to 
qcow2 files becoming corrupted and unusable.
