We have a replica 2, where the second node was freshly added about a
week ago and as fas as I can tell is fully replicated. This is storage
for a RHEV cluster and the total space currently in use is about 3.5TB.
When I run "gluster v heal gluster-rhev info heal-failed" it currently
lists 866 files on the original and 1 file on the recently added node.
What I find most interesting is that the single file listed on the
second node is a lease file belonging to a VM template.
Some obvious questions come to mind: What is that output supposed to
mean? Dose it in fact even have a useful meaning at all? How can the
files be in a heal-failed condition and not also be in a split-brain
condition?
My interpretation of "heal-failed" is that the listed files are not yet
fully in sync across nodes (and are therefore by definition in a
split-brain condition) but that doesn't match the output of the command.
However, that can't be the same as the gluster interpretation because
how can a template file which has received no reads or writes possibly
be in a heal-failed condition a week after the initial volume heal?
