During the problem case, near as I can tell, afr_final_errno(), in the loop where tmp_errno = local->replies[i].op_errno is set, the errno is always "2" when it gets to that point on server 3 (where the NFS load is). I never see a value other than 2. I later simply put the print at the end of the function too, to double verify non-zero exit codes. There are thousands of non-zero return codes, all 2 when not zero. Here is an exmaple flow right before a split-brain. I do not wish to imply the split-brain is related, it's just an example log snip: [2020-04-06 00:54:21.125373] E [MSGID: 0] [afr-common.c:2546:afr_final_errno] 0-erikj-afr_final_errno: erikj dbg afr_final_errno() errno from loop before afr_higher_errno was: 2 [2020-04-06 00:54:21.125374] E [MSGID: 0] [afr-common.c:2551:afr_final_errno] 0-erikj-afr_final_errno: erikj dbg returning non-zero: 2 [2020-04-06 00:54:23.315397] E [MSGID: 0] [afr-read-txn.c:283:afr_read_txn_refresh_done] 0-cm_shared-replicate-0: erikj dbg crapola 1st if in afr_read_txn_refresh_done() !priv->thin_arbiter_count -- goto to readfn [2020-04-06 00:54:23.315432] E [MSGID: 108008] [afr-read-txn.c:314:afr_read_txn_refresh_done] 0-cm_shared-replicate-0: Failing READLINK on gfid 57f269ef-919d-40ec-b7fc-a7906fee648b: split-brain observed.

I will see if Scott and I can work together tomorrow. Happy for any more ideas, Thank you!!
