All:
I read this in the gluster docs. Note I am not using arbiter -- I am setting up volumes with full 3 replicas. In this case, is this split brain scenario theoretical or has this actually occurred? If so, what are the chances that this could happen? In other words, aside from doing regular snapshots, is this type of split brain scenario something I should be planning in an unlikely disaster recovery scenario or part of daily maintenance? Since the docs say its a corner case, I am inferring that this is pretty unlikely.
"There is a corner case even with replica 3 volumes where the file can end up in a split-brain. AFR usually takes range locks for the {offset, length} of the write. If 3 writes happen on the same file at non-overlapping {offset, length} and each write fails on (only) one different brick, then we have AFR xattrs of the file blaming each other."
Thanks,
Joe
