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

[Pranith Kumar. Karampuri]

hi Mohit,
     I have sent a patch for the bug you have raised for self-heal not working in one case already.

For a file, it should have either different extended attributes for client-0/1 (assuming two replica) and same gfid extended attribute.
or different extended attribute for gfid.
example:
pranith @ /mnt/client
07:24:05 :) $ sudo getfattr -d -m "trusted*" /tmp/1/file1 
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: tmp/1/file1
trusted.afr.vol-client-0=0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
trusted.afr.vol-client-1=0sTwAAAgAAAAAAAAAA
trusted.gfid=0s9JoVEu1WQQCykafEGcz74Q==

pranith @ /mnt/client
07:24:34 :) $ sudo getfattr -d -m "trusted*" /tmp/2/file1 
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: tmp/2/file1
trusted.afr.vol-client-0=0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
trusted.afr.vol-client-1=0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
trusted.gfid=0s9JoVEu1WQQCykafEGcz74Q==

After self-heal completes they become:
pranith @ /mnt/client
07:27:21 :) $ sudo getfattr -d -m "trusted*" /tmp/1/file1 
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: tmp/1/file1
trusted.afr.vol-client-0=0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
trusted.afr.vol-client-1=0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
trusted.gfid=0s9JoVEu1WQQCykafEGcz74Q==


pranith @ /mnt/client
07:27:26 :) $ sudo getfattr -d -m "trusted*" /tmp/2/file1 
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: tmp/2/file1
trusted.afr.vol-client-0=0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
trusted.afr.vol-client-1=0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
trusted.gfid=0s9JoVEu1WQQCykafEGcz74Q==

Thanks
Pranith.

Can somone from gluster developer community please tell respond how to
find if self heal worked?

Or better yet how to determine if a file needs to be healed? Please
let me know as this very important aspect.
