[Gluster-users] Solving healing and split-brain problems

[Hoggins!]

Hello list,

I have a replicated (two nodes) volume called "thedude1".

When I issue the commands:

~$ gluster volume heal thedude1 full
~$ gluster volume heal thedude1 info

I get this output :

Gathering Heal info on volume thedude1 has been successful

Then, when I check for a split-brain condition, using :

~$ gluster volume heal thedude1 info split-brain

I get this :

Gathering Heal info on volume thedude1 has been successful

Question is : how do I manage this issue ? I know how to handle it with
"regular" files, but not with raw gfids.
A quick howto would be the best.

Thanks in advance.
