<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>while verifying the heal information for one of the hosted bricks I found out a few entries were not properly in sync anymore (I wondered how that could be possible as just one node is serving the data and the other is there as a backup and no, I had no downtime that could have made the gluster fuse client to switch to the other available node), after following the documentation at [1] I removed both the offending files and the respective hard links from the .glusterfs directory, (I found the '-samefile' flag of 'find' very handy for this job) but then I still had a few standing entries that would not report what file they were affecting but just the relevant gfid, in particular:</div>

</div><div><br></div><div>Am I in presence of another split brain situation? additionally the process that should be accessing the files I touched is reporting me an "Input/Output" error when trying to write to the glusterfs-mounted directory. (not on the whole brick but just on the directory that had the original split-brain)</div>
