They are both regular file on the node and the replicas and they have the same GFID. I ran also the gluster volume heal gv0 split-brain command and the file is not in the list. We have an entire directory though (1023 entry on a node) However, the file was already on the brick before uploading it and I noticed that that the write did not work since the last modification date does not match the upload time. Through a web service, we offer to upload files on the gluster mount. This web service upload the file on a temporary folder and then MOVE the file on the gluster mount. Could the move operation give strange behavior like this?
