Hi Consider the typical spit brain situation: reading from file gets EIO, logs say: [2011-08-21 13:38:54.607590] W [afr-open.c:168:afr_open] 0-gfs-replicate-0: failed to open as split brain seen, returning EIO [2011-08-21 13:38:54.607895] W [fuse-bridge.c:585:fuse_fd_cbk] 0-glusterfs-fuse: 1371456: OPEN() /manu/netbsd/usr/src/gnu/dist/groff/doc/Makefile.sub => -1 (Input/output error) On the backend I have two versions, one with size 0, the other with a decent size. I removed the one with size zero, ran ls -l on the client to trigger self heal: the log does not say it started, and I still get EIO accessing the file. Obviously that answer is cached somewhere. Is it possible to handle that situation without unmounting and remounting the volume, that is, without restarting glusterfs client? -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz manu at netbsd.org
