Hi all, 

We've been using gluster 3.2.X without much issue and we were trying next version (3.3) compiled from sources on a ubuntu 12.04 server: 

glusterfs 3.3.0 built on Jun 7 2012 11:19:51

We're using a replicated distributed architecture with 8 nodes in a 2-replica configuration. 

On the client side we're using gluster native libraries to mount the gluster volume and recently we found an issue with 1 file 

[2012-06-25 14:58:22.161036] W [afr-self-heal-data.c:831:afr_lookup_select_read_child_by_txn_type] 0-cloud-replicate-2:$FILE: Possible split-brain 
[2012-06-25 14:58:22.161098] W [afr-common.c:1226:afr_detect_self_heal_by_lookup_status] 0-cloud-replicate-2: split brain detected during lookup of $FILE 
[2012-06-25 14:58:22.161881] E [afr-self-heal-common.c:2156:afr_self_heal_completion_cbk] 0-cloud-replicate-2: background data gfid self-heal failed on $FILE 

I located the 2 bricks (servers) were the file was located, and the file was ok in both nodes as expected. I tried to delete both the file and the hard link in one node, perform a self-healing on the client, and the file was recreated in the missing node but the file was not yet accessible from the client. 

I made the same procedure on the other node (delete file and hard link) and launch self-healing and the file is not yet accessible. 

Is there any guide or procedure to handle split brains on 3.3? 

Thanks in advance, 
Samuel.
