>From the statedump, It looks like self-heal daemon had taken locks to heal the
file due to which the locks attempted by the client (mount) are in blocked
state.
In Arbiter volumes the client (mount) takes full locks (start=0, len=0) for
every write() as opposed to normal replica volumes which take range locks (i.e.
appropriate start,len values) for that write(). This is done to avoid network
split-brains.
So in normal replica volumes, clients can still write to a file while heal is
going on, as long as the offsets don't overlap. This is not the case with
arbiter volumes.
You can look at the client or glustershd logs to see if there are messages that
indicate healing of a file, something along the lines of "Completed data
selfheal on xxx"

What do you mean by 'getting rid of'? Killing the 3rd brick process of the
volume?
