        Hello Gluster Community,

        my newest observation concerns the self heal daemon:
        Scenario: 2 Node Gluster v5.5 Cluster with Replica 2
          Volume. Just one brick per node. Access via SMB Client from a
          Win10 machine

        How to reproduce:
        I have created a small folder with a lot of small files and
          I copied that folder recursively into itself for a few times.
          Additionally I copied three big folders with a lot of content
          into the root of the volume. 

        Note: There was no node down or something else like brick
          down, etc.. So the whole volume was accessible.

        Because of the recursively copy action all this copied
          files whre listed as to be healed (via gluster heal info).

    This is odd. How did you conclude that writing to the volume
      (i.e. recursive copy) was the reason for the files to be needing
      heal? Did you check if there were any gluster messages about
      disconnects in the smb client logs?
There was no disconnection, I am sure. But at all I am not really sure whats the cause of this problem. 

         Now I set some of the effected files ReadOnly (they get
          WORMed because worm-file-level is enabled). After this I tried
          to delete the parent folder of that files.

        Expected: All files should be healed
        Actually: All files, which are Read-Only, are not healed.
          heal info shows permanently that this files has to be healed.

    Does disabling read-only let the files to be healed?
I have to ty this. 

        glustershd log throws error and brick log (with level
          DEBUG) permanently throws a lot of messages which I don't
          understand. See the attached file which contains all
          informations, also heal info and volume info, beside the logs

        Maybe some of you know whats going on there? Since we can
          reproduce this scenario, we can give more debug information if
          needed.

    Is it possible to  script the list of steps to reproduce this
      issue? 
I will do that and post it here. Although I will collect more data when it happens

Regards
David
