The indices are consumed by self-heal daemons on each server for performing healing and is the default mode of operation. b) full heal - works through a full crawl of the volume. In this mode, self-heal daemon inspects changelogs of all files and directories it encounters during a crawl. This mode is triggered when volume heal full command is used. Normally, a) is faster and addresses most healing cases. Do you have more details on files that require a full heal to be performed for healing completion? Regards, Vijay
