I am plagued with something of this sort, too! What I mostly see when I explore these things is that A) it's a split-brain. B) the split-brain is because the gfid's on the two replicas are at odds. You could check that out by 1. On each server, first 'cd' to where your brick is mounted. 2. getfattr -m . -d -e hex templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png You will see a trusted.gfid kind of extended attribute. If it's not the same on both servers, there's a problem.

Just for you guys to understand what I'm talking about, follows this easy and simple test I just ran: root@web3:~# date; time ls -ltrh /var/www/site-images/templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png Mon Jan 26 07:00:27 PST 2015 -rwx---r-- 1 mhmadmin mhmadmin 61K Jan 22 14:37 /var/www/site-images/templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png real 0m*33.651s* user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.004s root@web3:~# date; time ls -ltrh /var/www/site-images/templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png Mon Jan 26 07:01:03 PST 2015 ls: cannot access /var/www/site-images/templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png: *Input/output error* real *1m40.241s* user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.003s root@web3:~# date; time ls -ltrh /var/www/site-images/templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png Mon Jan 26 07:02:51 PST 2015 ls: cannot access /var/www/site-images/templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png: *Input/output error* real *0m12.834s* user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.003s root@web3:~# date; time ls -ltrh /var/www/site-images/templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png Mon Jan 26 07:03:10 PST 2015 -rwx---r-- 1 mhmadmin mhmadmin 61K Jan 22 14:37 /var/www/site-images/templates/assets/prod/temporary/13/user_1339200.png real *2m10.150s* user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.005s Sometimes it passes, but takes a really long time to run a simple command (this is a 61K file), sometimes I see the Input/output error. The important thing to mention is that this behavior happens almost all the time. I can quickly reproduce it if asked. This is a 2-node gluster setup. Both VMs act as Client and Server (sorry if I'm not using the correct gluster naming.. I'm getting to know it for weeks now).
