[Gluster-users] Self Heal Confusion

[Brett Holcomb]

Still no change in the heals pending.  I found this reference, 
https://archive.fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/glusterselinux/attachments/slides/1876/export/events/attachments/glusterselinux/slides/1876/fosdem.pdf, 
which mentions the default SELinux context for a brick and that internal 
operations such as self-heal, rebalance should be ignored. but they do 
not elaborate on what ignore means - is it just not doing self-heal or 
something else.

I did set SELinux to permissive and nothing changed.  I'll try setting 
the bricks to the context mentioned in this pdf and see what happens.
