Thanks.

Ok, that explains why some of the files are suddenly listed and then vanish again.

The problem is that when we shut down all VMs (which were using gfapi) last
week, some images were listed as to be self-healed, but no I/O happened.
Also after a gluster vol stop/start and a reboot, the same files were listed and
nothing changed. After comparing the checksums of the files on the 2 bricks we
resumed operation.

Any ideas?

Best,
Tiziano
