Thanks.

There are still issues with some files so I'll look at doing this. None of the files on this volume are irreplaceable so no biggie. Just trying to get comfortable enough with Gluster to throw all our data on it. Not actually lost any files yet which is good. :-).

As far as checking for pending heals, is "gluster volume heal software info" sufficient?

Thanks.
