[Gluster-users] How accurate is heal statistics heal-count?

[Krutika Dhananjay]

I just checked the code. All `statistics heal-count` does is to count the
number of indices (in other words the number of files to be healed) present
per brick in the .glusterfs/indices/xattrop directory - which is where we
hold empty files representing inodes that need heal - and prints them. I
even tested it on my local setup, in terms of creating a few thousand files
and writing data into them while a brick is down and then executing the
command after bringing the brick back up periodically. It worked for me.

`heal info` also reads individual indices in the same directory, but it
takes locks to confirm they need heal by examining the pending xattrs.

Could you describe how you ran into this issue?
