The volume stays accessible, but the files being healed are locked.
That's probably why your app stayed online, web apps are usually a huge number
of small-ish files, so locking them during a heal is pretty much invisible (healing a
2 Kb file being almost instant).
If you had huge files on this, without sharding, it would have beem different :)
