[Gluster-users] How to debug unify self-heal ?

[Raghavendra G]

Is unify-self-heal on? (since you're saying you tried deleting the whole
namespace and able to list the files except for some, self-heal should be
on. But I just wanted to confirm it).

Can you try deleting the whole namespace and restart glusterfs freshly? Can
you mail the log files, If you can reproduce the error?If it does not take
too much time to reproduce the error, please start glusterfs with loglevel
of DEBUG (-L DEBUG on command line).

Also, please send the version of glusterfs you are using.

regards,
