Hi All,
I'm currently playing around with Gluster 8.3 and geo-replication.
I have created a 'replica 3' volume as source and a 'replica 2' as a destination.
In this case geo-replication is working quite fine , but during my tests I have managed to cause a split-brain in some of the files:
[root@glustere mnt]# gluster volume info secondary
Volume Name: secondary
Type: Distributed-Replicate
Volume ID: 1b5717ee-aa9b-4eff-9989-ad4f0388b86c

As node "glustere" was last reboot , the source of truth should be 'glusterd:/bricks/brick-d2/brick'.
I have tried to tell gluster that , but it doesn't want to resolve the split-brain:
[root@glustere mnt]# gluster volume heal secondary split-brain source-brick glusterd:/bricks/brick-d2/brick | tail -n 5
Lookup failed on gfid:dbfb3794-4a1a-4540-b235-2fdce4d21d6a:Transport endpoint is not connected.
Lookup failed on gfid:d78fdf9c-1c00-4712-8229-cfc10b009ad3:Transport endpoint is not connected.
Status: Connected
Number of healed entries: 1
In the logs it's clearly that something is wrong:

Yet, if I specify the file in the previous command the heal is OK:
[root@glustere mnt]# gluster volume heal secondary split-brain source-brick glusterd:/bricks/brick-d2/brick gfid:dbfb3794-4a1a-4540-b235-2fdce4d21d6a

I thought that 'source-brick' solves both data and metadata split-brains. Am I wrong ?
