The heal status repeatedly shows the same number of healed/failed during a "gluster volume heal homegfs info statistics" check. There are over 9,000 files healed and roughly 1,000 that fail the heal. Each time that heal runs, it reports the exact same number of healed and heal-failed... The log file shows thousands of <SPAN id=7c95167019204a6fa9652756401e1cc0>"W [client-rpc-fops.c:1529:client3_3_inodelk_cbk] 0-homegfs-client-1: remote operation failed: Stale file handle" errors messages and the log file has grown to over 6GB.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
