I attempted to simulate a node failure with complete loss of data the the exported filesystem and have notiiced that after bringing the node back online, the files that it used to contain do not get re-created on the node and in fact they get deleted from the /gluster filesystem. Here's the situation: 2 pairs of 2 nodes with cluster/replicate the 2 pairs then are distributed. I created zero-byte files on the glusterfs and noted how they were distributed between pairs and replicated between nodes. I then shutdown glusterfsd and the glusterfs mount point on node 3. Then I blew away the data on the underlying filesystem and rebooted. When the machine came back up the data (which is still contained on node 4, its replication partner) was deleted from the glusterfs and was not self-healed. Am I missing something here?
