Sorry for the delay in response. It is better to enable profile on the 
volume and find what is happening. Just before restoring the network 
connection, enable profiling using 'gluster volume profile <volname> 
start' Let the healing complete. Give the output of 'gluster volume 
profile <volname> info' output. We can check that to figure out what is 
happening.
