It seems there's no hardlink.. nothing in /bricks/vol1/brick1/.glusterfs/c1/ca/ directory.

Now I manually set the trusted.gfid value on the file, and launched heal again,
and now gluster was able to heal it OK! Healing is now fully complete, and no out-of-sync files anymore.

Any idea what caused the missing trusted.gfid ? 



Thanks a lot!
