Self-heal would work, but you should probably just use rsync in this case to sync the backends before starting GlusterFS. Self-heal will be overkill because it holds locks and so on to ensure no one else writes to the same file while the healing is happening. ------------------------------ Vikas Gorur Engineer - Gluster, Inc. +1 (408) 770 1894 ------------------------------
