On the one hand:

  # gluster volume heal foretee info healed
  Gathering list of healed entries on volume foretee has been unsuccessful on bricks that are down. Please check if all brick processes are running.
  root at bu-4t-a:/mnt/gluster# gluster volume status foretee
  Status of volume: foretee

  Task Status of Volume foretee
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  There are no active volume tasks

On the other:

  # gluster volume heal foretee info healed
  Gathering list of healed entries on volume foretee has been unsuccessful on bricks that are down. Please check if all brick processes are running.

And:

  # gluster volume heal foretee info
  ...
  Status: Connected
  Number of entries: 3141

Both systems have their bricks in /mnt/gluster, and the volume then mounted
in /backups. I can write or delete a file in /backups on either system, and
it appears in both /backups on the other, and in /mnt/gluster on both. 

So Gluster is working. There have only ever been the two bricks. But there
are 3141 entries that won't heal, and a suggestion that one of the bricks is
offline -- when they're both plainly there.

This is with glusterfs 3.8.5 on Ubuntu 16.04.1.

What's my next move?

Thanks, 
Whit
