I've found this

[root at gluster01.uat ~]# getfattr -dm . Alien3_1992_25_HLS_layer2_642000_282.ts 
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file:
# Alien3_1992_25_HLS_layer2_642000_282.ts
trusted.gfid="��\012�h�Bȹ!v�/�,�"
trusted.glusterfs.dht.linkto="cdn-uat-replicate-0"

[root at gluster01.uat ~]#

>From some smart posts I found that this happenes when a brick fills and
the file is then placed on another brick. The extended attr then points
to the file's new location.

This would point to the 'cdn-uat-replicate-0' pair of bricks, however
the files are not there. They are on another pair or replicated bricks.

cdn-uat-replicate-0 is in fact gluster0[8,7].uat

The actual files are located on 'cdn-uat-replicate-3' which is
gluster0[5,6].uat


Now, the actual Gluster mount seems ok, the files do exist and there's
nothing I can do to fix this with heal, rebalance and friends.

I think I'm just gonna delete them..
