[Gluster-devel] consistent state

Hello,
I am following this document to set up gluster (1.3.9)  across two servers.
http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/High-availability_storage_using_server-side_AFR

I am testing it and found the following issue:

1: at certain point, one server (A) goes down.  The client creates a file
then. The file will be created on another running server (B).
2: Later on,  server A comes up. There is no such a file on server A
3: The client trying to "ls" the directory with that file, but it just hangs
there.

My question: how glusterfs takes care of the conflicts for multiple servers
with different contents at certain point.

Thanks,

Shaofeng
