Gluster Brick Offline after reboot!!

Hi Team,

We are using Gluster 3.7.6 and facing one problem in which brick is not comming online after restart the board.

To understand our setup, please look the following steps:
1. We have two boards A and B on which Gluster volume is running in replicated mode having one brick on each board.
2. Gluster mount point is present on the Board A which is sharable between number of processes.
3. Till now our volume is in sync and everthing is working fine.
4. Now we have test case in which we'll stop the glusterd, reboot the Board B and when this board comes up, starts the glusterd again on it.
5. We repeated Steps 4 multiple times to check the reliability of system.
6. After the Step 4, sometimes system comes in working state (i.e. in sync) but sometime we faces that brick of Board B is present in
    “gluster volume status” command but not be online even waiting for more than a minute.
7. When the Step 4 is executing at the same time on Board A some processes are started accessing the files from the Gluster mount point.

As a solution to make this brick online, we found some existing issues in gluster mailing list giving suggestion to use “gluster volume start <vol_name> force” to make the brick 'offline' to 'online'.

If we use “gluster volume start <vol_name> force” command. It will kill the existing volume process and started the new process then what will happen if other processes are accessing the same volume at the time when volume process is killed by this command internally. Will it impact any failure on these processes?

Question : What could be contributing to brick offline?
