[Gluster-users] Recovery from network failure

Without doing a reboot of one of the servers I don't seem to be able to
force replication again. I just end up with a partial file.

I'm starting gluster like this:
sudo glusterfs -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol /mnt/glusterfs
sudo glusterfsd -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol

And do the following to try and trigger it to replicate
sudo ls -alRh /mnt/glusterfs/
sudo ls -alRh /data/export
sudo ls -alRh /data/export-ns

Am I missing something?
