[Gluster-users] corruption using gluster and iSCSI with LIO

Yes, I did it only if I have the previous result of heal info ("number
of entries: 0"). But same result, as soon as the second Node is
offline (after they were both working/back online), everything is
corrupted.

To recap:

* Node 1 UP Node 2 UP -> OK
* Node 1 UP Node 2 DOWN -> OK (just a small lag for multipath to see
the path down and change if necessary)
* Node 1 UP Node 2 UP -> OK (and waiting to have no entries displayed
in heal command)
* Node 1 DOWN Node 2 UP -> NOT OK (data corruption)
