[Gluster-users] cluster/afr not mirroring 100%?

[Marian Marinov]

Hello Jason,

This behavior is normal since with AFR files are transfered on the other nodes 
only when they are requested from them.
So in order to have the files replicated you should do find . in /home/export 
on all remote nodes.

For more information please read this article:

Marian
