[Gluster-users] Heal flapping between Possibly undergoing heal and In split brain

[Milos Cuculovic]

Since 24h, after upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1.7 one of the servers, the heal shows this:

sudo gluster volume heal storage2 info
Brick storage3:/data/data-cluster
<gfid:256ca960-1601-4f0d-9b08-905c6fd52326> 
<gfid:7a63a729-c48f-4a00-9040-c3e2a0710ae6> 
/dms/final_archive - Possibly undergoing heal

Status: Connected
Number of entries: 3

Brick storage4:/data/data-cluster
<gfid:276fec9a-1c9b-4efe-9715-dcf4207e99b0> 
/dms/final_archive - Possibly undergoing heal

Status: Connected
Number of entries: 2

The same files stay there. From time to time the status of the /dms/final_archive is in split brain at the following command shows:

sudo gluster volume heal storage2 info split-brain
Brick storage3:/data/data-cluster
/dms/final_archive
Status: Connected
Number of entries in split-brain: 1

Brick storage4:/data/data-cluster
/dms/final_archive
Status: Connected
Number of entries in split-brain: 1

How to know the file who is in split brain? The files in /dms/final_archive are not very important, fine to remove (ideally resolve the split brain) for the ones that differ.

I can only see the directory and GFID. Any idea on how to resolve this situation as I would like to continue with the upgrade on the 2nd server, and for this the heal needs to be done with 0 entries in sudo gluster volume heal storage2 info

Thank you in advance, Milos.
