[Gluster-users] Self heal doesn't seem to work when file is updated

[Pranith Kumar. Karampuri]

hi,
     Glusterfs identifies files using a gfid. Same file on both the replicas contain same gfid. What happens when you edit a text file is a new backup file(different gfid) is created and the data is written to it and then it is renamed to the original file thus changing the gfid on the bricks that are up. When the old brick comes back up it finds that the gfid of the same file has changed. This case is not handled in the code at the moment, I am working on it.

Pranith.

It fails with the gluster client but not the NFS client?

Have you opened a bug report on the bugzilla?
