Hi , Thanks for the answare , probebly this is the case and i know the issue with new files and ls But what about if the file is a big image file of xen or kvm once say node 1 reboots node 2 will start to serve xen / kvm images and will hold a lock on the file indefenetly so replication back to node 1 wont happen till the admin will do something to currect this manualy , so i wonder what is the procedures of that case i dont care to write some scripts to do that or have small outgage as long as it will fix the issue leaving the 2 nodes not in sync for too long is not very health . Thanks , -------- Hi If i'm not wrong it will be synced once you try to access any of the unsynced files, except if the file does not exist on the first volume - ??? ???? ????? - _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users -- Best regards ... ---------------------------------------------------------------- David Saez Padros http://www.ols.es On-Line Services 2000 S.L. telf +34 902 50 29 75 ----------------------------------------------------------------
