Hello all, we have seen several split brain situations and think that the most common option for the situation is simply missing. You can define a favourite child, but you cannot define to use the latest file copy as definitive. Why not? Isn't it a logical approach to say that the latest copy of a file based on mtime must be the most up-to-date and therefore being used in split brain recovery? Currently it seems that there is no real choice besides a defined favourite child, the file action is only distributed between the children, which means you just get a subset of old file copies. I'd say the solution has to be placed somewhere at xlators/cluster/afr/src/afr-self-heal-data.c lines 855 ff. I have no idea though how to find out what the latest copy is ... Comments? -- Regards, Stephan
