not bug.. you need to read these error messages.
auto-heal can't figure out which file is the 
newest one, so instead of just picking and doing 
something bad, it's letting you fix it.
you can fix it by either deleting the file from 
all but the preferred volume OR you can add:
option favorite-child
to the gluster config.

if you choose to add option favorite-child  then 
it will always pick from that brick whenever there's an un resolvable conflict.
