Hi Aravinda,

I am using this version of glusterfs:

glusterfs 3.4.2 built on Jan 14 2014 18:05:35
Repository revision: git://git.gluster.com/glusterfs.git
Copyright (c) 2006-2013 Red Hat, Inc. <http://www.redhat.com/>

the status of the geo replication is OK:

NODE     MASTER     SLAVE                                  STATUS
------------------------------------------------------------------
storage  storage root at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/data/data-cluster     OK

So there are no issues with. Can it be that the changelog is big due to 
the fact that he took a lot of time to do the 1st sync, so now he need 
to run through all the changelogs?

In the log directory, I have two log files, in the 1st one, I have those 
kind of logs:

[2015-08-18 04:39:57.331947] I [glusterfsd.c:1068:reincarnate] 
0-glusterfsd: Fetching the volume file from server...
[2015-08-18 04:39:57.332500] I [glusterfsd-mgmt.c:1584:mgmt_getspec_cbk] 
0-glusterfs: No change in volfile, continuing
[2015-08-18 04:39:57.343306] I [glusterfsd.c:1068:reincarnate] 
0-glusterfsd: Fetching the volume file from server...
[2015-08-18 04:39:57.343651] I [glusterfsd-mgmt.c:1584:mgmt_getspec_cbk] 
0-glusterfs: No change in volfile, continuing


In the second one, I was just geting some logs when trying to check the 
file:

[2015-08-18 11:09:03.116003] E [syncdutils:174:log_raise_exception] 
<top>: timestamp corruption for ./dms/molecules/molecules-19-15411

[2015-08-18 11:10:14.106652] I [monitor(monitor):21:set_state] Monitor: 
new state: OK

It seems he has changed the status to faulty and was able to recover, 
but what does this error means: "timestamp corruption for ..."
