Hi Steve,
The patch already went in for 3.6.3 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1187547). What version are you using? If it is 3.6.3 or newer, can you share the logs if this happens again? (or possibly try if you can reproduce the issue on your setup).
Thanks,
Ravi

    There is a thread from 2014 mentioning that the heal process on a
    replica volume was de-sparsing sparse files.(1)

    I've been experiencing the same issue on Gluster 3.6.x. I see there is
    a bug closed for a fix on Gluster 3.7 (2) and I'm wondering if this
    fix can be back-ported to Gluster 3.6.x?

    My experience has been:
    Replica 3 volume
    1 brick went offline
    Brought brick back online
    Heal full on volume
    My 500G vm-storage volume went from ~280G used to >400G used.

    I've experienced this a couple times previously, and used fallocate to
    re-sparse files but this is cumbersome at best, and lack of proper
    heal support on sparse files could be disastrous if I didn't have
    enough free space and ended up crashing my VM's when my storage domain
    ran out of space.

    Seeing as 3.6 is still a supported release, and 3.7 feels too bleeding
    edge for production systems, I think it makes sense to back-port this
    fix if possible.

    Thanks,
    Steve
