[Gluster-users] Self healing does not see files to heal

We do need to consider this as bug and fix full self-heal to handle the
case where it has to look at both the bricks to see if there are any files
missing in the bricks. We won't be letting this happen on the mounts though
because it will slow down performance. Be very careful about deleting files
directly from the brick though. It is always recommended you take back up
of the good file before attempting heal.
