I don't think glusterfs can help you out, and I guess that the "cp" command will do a trucate before copy data. While you were trying to copy files from bricks to mountpoint, it was obvious that you were trying to copy a file to itself, the cp command would truncate the file first, then "cp" found there was no data to copy, that was why data became to lose. Now this problem turn out to be a problem of low layer filesystem, and I'm not sure if a truncate syscall will reset the data of the block which will be allocaed.. Files that placed at new bricks must have contained valid data, so keep trying to use recover tools.<br>
