Self-Heal
AFR has self-heal feature, which updates the outdated file and directory
copies by the most recent versions. For example consider the following
config:
volume afr-example
type cluster/afr
subvolumes brick1 brick2
end-volume
Hello.
Imagine you have :
On network 1 : client 1 (AFR) and server 1 (brick1)
On network 2 : client 2 (AFR) and server 2 (brick2)
The networks are disconnected.
The 2 clients continue to write on the AFR brick on the same file.
The networks are reconnected.
For the file modified by the 2 clients :
- If the version numbers are differents, the file with the bigger
version number is copied over the older version.
(It's may be not the file with the more recent modification time)
- If the version numbers are identicals, do you detect that
the file content is not the same ?
Sincerely yours.
Thierry.
