[Gluster-devel] Client side afr versus server side, doing a self-heal

[Brandon Lamb]

I think I accidentally butchered this thread because this was actually
a question on client versus server side afr, not setting up with pre
existing data...

HOWEVER.

I just had success. This time i tried with a TEST directory rather
than live data... /genius

Server1
/mnt/raid/gfs - contains 4 folders and some files within

Server2
/mnt/raid/gfs - empty directory

On server 2, set trusted version to 1 (lower value)
find /mnt/raid/gfs -depth -type f -execdir setfattr -n
trusted.glusterfs.version -v 1 {} \; >/dev/null

On server 1, set truster version to 3 (higher value)
find /mnt/raid/gfs -depth -type f -execdir setfattr -n
trusted.glusterfs.version -v 3 {} \; >/dev/null

I also ran the setfattr command on the /mnt/raid/gfs directory by
itself as well only because im not 100% sure that the find command
also included the specified directory. Probably did i guess but just
to be sure...
setfattr -n trusted.glusterfs.version -v 1 /mnt/raid/gfs (on server 2)
setfattr -n trusted.glusterfs.version -v 3 /mnt/raid/gfs (on server 1)

Then I launched glusterfsd on both servers (doing client side afr) and
then mounted on a single client, cd to /mnt/gfs on client and did ls
-al

Files showed up on server2 (the empty dir).

Now im going to delete everything and start over completely fresh in
case i forgot a step. If someone could create a wiki page on doing
this i will type up a howto or whatever.
