hi Mohit, ls -laR does not trigger the self-heal when the stat-prefetch translator is loaded. The command to use for triggering self-heal is "find". Please see our documentation of the same. http://europe.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.1:_Triggering_Self-Heal_on_Replicate I executed the same example on my machine and it works fine. root at pranith-laptop:/mnt/client# cat /tmp/2/a.txt sds root at pranith-laptop:/mnt/client# find . . ./a.txt root at pranith-laptop:/mnt/client# cat /tmp/2/a.txt sds DD Pranith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pranith Kumar.

Same file on both the replicas contain same gfid. What happens when you edit a text file is a new backup file(different gfid) is created and the data is written to it and then it is renamed to the original file thus changing the gfid on the bricks that are up. When the old brick comes back up it finds that the gfid of the same file has changed. This case is not handled in the code at the moment, I am working on it.
