[Gluster-users] Self heal doesn't seem to work when file is updated

Wed Mar 9 18:48:04 UTC 2011

Is this the complete list? I don't see stat prefetch translator in there.

Just so this important question doesn't get lost I will ask again :)

How will I know if self heal worked or not. What's the best way to
tell? I see there are 2 find commands and it looks in some cases
running one may not be sufficient. So how can we make sure that self
heal worked. Currently I am testing with one file so it's easy to
verify but with millions of files it may not be possible.

What happens when you edit a text file is a new backup file(different gfid) is created and the data is written to it and then it is renamed to the original file thus changing the gfid on the bricks that are up. When the old brick comes back up it finds that the gfid of the same file has changed. This case is not handled in the code at the moment, I am working on it.
