The self-heal of the contents of a file happens when the file is opened. Missing files, mismatched permissions are sync'd when any type of access to the file happens (stat, etc.). After the self-heal is done, the file on the 'dirty' node is marked as 'clean'. Vikas Gorur -- Engineer - Z Research http://gluster.org/
