[Gluster-users] Best practices after a peer failure?

hi R.C.,
    Could you please give the exact steps when you log the bug. Please also give the output of gluster peer status on both the machines after restart. zip the files under /usr/local/var/log/glusterfs/ and /etc/glusterd on both the machines when this issue happens. This should help us debug the issue.

Thanks
Pranith.

I've figured out the problem.

If you mount the glusterfs with native client on a peer, if another peer 
crashes then doesn't self-heal after reboot.

Should I put this issue in the bug tracker?

Bye

Raf
