[Gluster-users] Is there a way to force a brick in a replica set to automatically self heal after it goes down and comes back up?

[Kushnir, Michael (NIH/NLM/LHC) [C]]

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the quick reply. What is the means of monitoring the progress of a self-heal? 

Thanks,
Michael

In 3.3 onward, there is a feature called "proactive self-heal" which will automatically start repair in such cases.  It's also more efficient than relying on find|stat from a client, though the client driven self-heal is still there as a belt-and-suspenders kind of thing.
