<gfid:3138d605-25ec-4aa9-9069-5db2e4202db4>/Doc1_LOUJA.htm - Is in split-brain.

Directories are symlinked inside the .glusterfs folder on the bricks. 
You can `cd 
/mnt/public/brick1/.glusterfs/31/38/3138d605-25ec-4aa9-9069-5db2e4202db4` and 
get to the file 'Doc1_LOUJA.htm' and then resolve the split-brain.

HTH,
