Subject: rsync + stale file handle

>When I do an rsync to backup my workstations onto a gluster mounted 
>file system, I end up with thousands of healing problems.  The heal 
>status repeatedly shows the same number of healed/failed during a 
>"gluster volume heal homegfs info statistics" check.  There are over 
>9,000 files healed and roughly 1,000 that fail the heal.  Each time 
>that heal runs, it reports the exact same number of healed and 
>heal-failed... The log file shows thousands of "W 
>[client-rpc-fops.c:1529:client3_3_inodelk_cbk] 0-homegfs-client-1: 
>remote operation failed: Stale file handle" errors messages and the log 
>file has grown to over 6GB.

>These problems show up when I backup a workstation onto the

>"gfsib01a:/homegfs on /homegfs type fuse.glusterfs 
>(rw,allow_other,max_read=131072)" and I do the backup using "rsync -avh 
>/ /homegfs/wks_backup".
>
>Note, that if I delete all of the backups from the gluster file system 
>(rm -rf /homegfs/wks_backup), the heal statistics return to normal and 
>show zero healed/split-brain/heal-failed...

>Any suggestions for what I can do to resolve these issues and use my

>Thanks in advance for any help you can provide... Greatly
