[Gluster-users] Split Brain?

[Ian Rogers]

Do what it says in the error - though it's not very nice.

Manually go on to each brick where /lib/wms-server.jar is stored, figure 
out which is the "correct" one and delete all the others (leaving just 
the one correct one). Then access the file from a client and it will be 
automatically replicated back to the other bricks you deleted it from.

Split-brain is the elephant in the room with gluster...
