On the client side we're using gluster native libraries to mount the gluster volume and recently we found an issue with 1 file [2012-06-25 14:58:22.161036] W [afr-self-heal-data.c:831:afr_lookup_select_read_child_by_txn_type] 0-cloud-replicate-2:$FILE: Possible split-brain [2012-06-25 14:58:22.161098] W [afr-common.c:1226:afr_detect_self_heal_by_lookup_status] 0-cloud-replicate-2: split brain detected during lookup of $FILE [2012-06-25 14:58:22.161881] E [afr-self-heal-common.c:2156:afr_self_heal_completion_cbk] 0-cloud-replicate-2: background data gfid self-heal failed on $FILE I located the 2 bricks (servers) were the file was located, and the file was ok in both nodes as expected. I tried to delete both the file and the hard link in one node, perform a self-healing on the client, and the file was recreated in the missing node but the file was not yet accessible from the client. I made the same procedure on the other node (delete file and hard link) and launch self-healing and the file is not yet accessible. Is there any guide or procedure to handle split brains on 3.3? Thanks in advance, Samuel. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
