Raghavendra,

Do you know what release are you planning on fixing the open file self  
heal bug?  It appears to be the root cause of a lot of other critical  
issues and general misunderstands about what gluster is capable of  
doing.  I don't see anything mentioned about this in the http://gluster.org/docs/index.php/GlusterFS_Roadmap

Thanks,
Brian
