Hi all, i am very new to GlusterFS so please excuse if you feel insulted by my lack of knowledge. I have a simple Gluster-Setup: Volume Name: vol-gface01 Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: 192.168.11.66:/bricks/brick01 Brick2: 192.168.0.164:/bricks/brick02 For reasons beyond my circumstances Brick2 was gone for quite a while. However the client still operated on the volume. The second Brick2 is back online now and i was wondering if there are any steps required from my side to synchronize or if i can rely on auto healing completely. I did count the files on Brick1 (that was online all the time) and Brick2 and realized Brick2 had slightly more files (Brick01: 1513, Brick02: 1518). After i did root> gluster volume rebalance vol-gface01 the amount of files on both system was even again (1513 both). Do i always have to do a rebalance in order to fix differences after a missing brick comes back online again or can i rely on the auto heal process (no matter if files werde added or deleted on the remaining bricks)?
