[Gluster-users] Fwd: disperse heal speed up

Hi again,

I am seeing the above situation in production environment now.
One disk on one of my servers broken. I killed the brick process,
replace the disk, mount it and then I do a gluster v start force.

For a 24 hours period  after replacing disks I see below gluster v
heal info count increased until 200.000

gluster v heal v0 info | grep "Number of entries" | grep -v "Number of
entries: 0"
Number of entries: 205117
Number of entries: 205231
...
...
...

For about 72 hours It decreased to 40K, and it is going very slowly right now.
What I am observing is very very slow heal speed. There is no errors
in brick logs.
There was 900GB data in broken disk and now I see 200GB healed after
96 hours after replacing disk.
There are below warnings in glustershd.log but I think they are harmless.

W [ec_combine.c:866:ec_combine_check] 0-v0-disperse-56: Mismatching
xdata in answers of LOOKUP
W [ec_common.c:116:ec_check_status] 0-v0-disperse-56: Operation failed
on some subvolumes (up=FFFFF, mask=FFFFF, remaining=0, good=FFFF7,
bad=8)
W [ec_common.c:71:ec_heal_report] 0-v0-disperse-56: Heal failed
[invalid argument]

I tried turning on performance.client-io-threads but it did not
changed anything.
For 900GB data It will take nearly 8 days to heal. What can I do?
