Further to this, the volume doesn't seem overly healthy. Any idea how I can get it back into a working state? Trying to access one particular directory on the clients just hangs. If I query heal info, that directory appears in the output as possibly undergoing heal (actual directory name changed as it's private info): [root@gluster1b-1 ~]# gluster volume heal callrec info Brick gluster1a-1.dns99.co.uk:/data/brick/callrec/ <gfid:164f888f-2049-49e6-ad26-c758ee091863> /recordings/834723/14391 - Possibly undergoing heal <gfid:e280b40c-d8b7-43c5-9da7-4737054d7a7f> <gfid:b1fbda4a-732f-4f5d-b5a1-8355d786073e> <gfid:edb74524-b4b7-4190-85e7-4aad002f6e7c> <gfid:9b8b8446-1e27-4113-93c2-6727b1f457eb> <gfid:650efeca-b45c-413b-acc3-f0a5853ccebd> Number of entries: 7 Brick gluster1b-1.dns99.co.uk:/data/brick/callrec/ Number of entries: 0 Brick gluster2a-1.dns99.co.uk:/data/brick/callrec/ <gfid:e280b40c-d8b7-43c5-9da7-4737054d7a7f> <gfid:164f888f-2049-49e6-ad26-c758ee091863> <gfid:650efeca-b45c-413b-acc3-f0a5853ccebd> <gfid:b1fbda4a-732f-4f5d-b5a1-8355d786073e> /recordings/834723/14391 - Possibly undergoing heal <gfid:edb74524-b4b7-4190-85e7-4aad002f6e7c> <gfid:9b8b8446-1e27-4113-93c2-6727b1f457eb> Number of entries: 7 Brick gluster2b-1.dns99.co.uk:/data/brick/callrec/ Number of entries: 0 If I query each brick directly for the number of files/directories within that, I get 1731 on gluster1a-1 and gluster2a-1, but 1737 on the other two, using this command: # find /data/brick/callrec/recordings/834723/14391 -print | wc -l Cheers, Kingsley.
