[Gluster-devel] Self heal fails but file can be accessed

[Emmanuel Dreyfus]

Hi

I do this:
$ ls -l /pfs/manu/netbsd/usr/src/tools/sed/Makefile  
-rw-r--r--  1 manu  manu  159 Jun 18  2006 /pfs/manu/netbsd/usr/src/tools/sed/Makefile

And I get that in the client logs:
[2012-06-14 11:50:24.352299] I [afr-common.c:1340:afr_launch_self_heal] 0-pfs-replicate-0: background  meta-data self-heal triggered. path: /manu/netbsd/usr/src/tools/sed/Makefile, reason: lookup detected pending operations

How should I understand that behavior? Shouldn't I get EIO?
