Let me show you this further information for one file falsly self-healed: server1: # getfattr -d -m '.*' -e hex <filename> getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: <filename> trusted.afr.remote1=0x000000000000000000000000 trusted.afr.remote2=0x000000000000000000000000 trusted.posix.gen=0x4b9bb33c00001be6 # stat <filename> File: <filename> Size: 4509 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 4096 reguläre Datei Device: 804h/2052d Inode: 16560280 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2010-03-23 11:10:36.000000000 +0100 Modify: 2010-03-23 00:32:25.000000000 +0100 Change: 2010-03-23 12:36:40.000000000 +0100 server2: # getfattr -d -m '.*' -e hex <filename> getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: <filename> trusted.afr.remote1=0x000000000000000000000000 trusted.afr.remote2=0x000000000000000000000000 trusted.posix.gen=0x4b9bb2f600001be6 # stat <filename> File: <filename> Size: 4024 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 reguläre Datei Device: 804h/2052d Inode: 42762291 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2010-03-23 11:10:36.000000000 +0100 Modify: 2010-03-23 14:32:23.000000000 +0100 Change: 2010-03-23 14:32:23.000000000 +0100 As you can see the latest file version is on server2 (modify date) and is _smaller_ in size. Now on client 2 a ls shows interesting values: # ls -l <filename> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4509 Mar 23 14:37 <filename> As you can see here, the file date looks increased and the size clearly shows that self-heal went wrong. Consequently the server2 copy now looks like: # stat <filename> File: <filename> Size: 4509 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 4096 reguläre Datei Device: 804h/2052d Inode: 42762291 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2010-03-23 11:10:36.000000000 +0100 Modify: 2010-03-23 00:32:25.000000000 +0100 Change: 2010-03-23 14:41:13.000000000 +0100 Modification date went back and file size is increased, so the older file version was choosen to overwrite the newer one. -- Regards, Stephan
