Thanks Krutika, very useful.

As part of testing today I stopped the volume and generated a md5sum for 
every shard on every brick. 20047 shards per brick, it took a while :)

I then compared them and found there were 8 shards different and 
applying your algorithm found they were all from one file:

   /images/307/vm-307-disk-1.qcow2

Is there anyway to launch a heal against just one file?
