Understood, but that might not be soon enough for some scenarios. From 
what you told me, my current setup might cause a split-brain.

My setup is replicated volume exported via NFS from 2 servers, HA is 
achieved by keepalived.
If the keepalive master goes down, the IP is switched to the other 
server and all is well, but when the master comes back and it claims the 
IP, then NFS operations will happen on it. If NFS operations happen on 
files that have changed in the meanwhile and heal is not yet triggered, 
then we have a split brain.
My solution to this was to let glusterd come up, initiate heal and 
_after_ that to start keepalived.
