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

[Mohit Anchlia]

I thought self healing is possible only after we run "ls -alR or find

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.
