[Gluster-users] self-heal stops some vms (virtual machines)

[João Pagaime]

hello all

I have a replicate volume that holds kvm  vms (virtual machines)

I had to stop one gluster-server for maintenance . That part of the 
operation went well: no vms problems after shutdown

the problems started after booting the gluster-server. Self-healing 
started as expected, but some vms  locked up with disk problems 
(time-outs), as self-healing goes by them.
Some VMs did survive the self-healing . I suppose the ones with low IO 
activity or less sensitive to disk problems

is there some specific gluster configuration to enable a self-healing 
ride-through on running-vms? (cluster.data-self-heal-algorithm is 
already on the diff mode)

is there some tweaks recommended to do on vms running on top of gluster?

current config:

gluster:   3.3.0-1.el6.x86_64
