Oops, my bad. Thanks for pointing out. Fixing split-brain is surely not what bitrot's job.

Best wishes,

Hi Lindsay,

As I understand it, the current logic of bitd/scrubd does not address
the problem you asked about
"a process where all replicas are compared for inconsistencies."

bitd/scrubd operate independently within each node, signing each file
and validating the checksum - which is part of the answer. It basically
protects the files on a brick from silent data corruption - it does not
ensure that each replica is consistent with each other.

I believe that replica compare and automatic healing, are features being
worked on for a future release - not sure of timing, but maybe one of
the devs can chime in.

    RHGS 3.2 hasn't been released yet.  RHGS 3.1.2 is the current version.
