Hello Beat, This is a pitty. Because a stop of the service only to resync te standby node is not so nice... The stat of the database file in: /opt/test/database after a reboot of the node 2 shows different output, one time from the node 1 and another time from node 2. What is the role of self heal in this? It is noticed that the files are not equal (via stat). Would you see the same behaviour for example with qemu-kvm that keeps also files open?
