[Gluster-users] Directory in split brain does not heal - Gfs 9.2

[Joe Julian]

It could work, but I never imagined, back then, that *directories* could 
get in split-brain.

The most likely reason for that split is that there's a gfid mismatch on 
one of the replicas. I'd go to the brick with the odd gfid, move that 
directory out of the brick path, then do a "find folder" on the client 
mount to rebuild the directory structure. Check the directory to make 
sure all the files are right before deleting the moved odd one.

If you need to fix anything, just copy from the moved directory to a 
client-mount on the same machine.
