Just to clarify as i'm planning to put gluster in production (after
fixing some issue, but for this I need community help):

corruption happens only in this cases:

- volume with shard enabled
AND
- rebalance operation

In any other cases, corruption should not happen (or at least is not
known to happen)

So, what If I have to replace a failed brick/disks ? Will this trigger
a rebalance and then corruption?

rebalance, is only needed when you have to expend a volume, ie by
adding more bricks ?
