I would also like to know HOW I would know for sure that self heal worked ...

Thanks!

How will I know if self heal worked or not. What's the best way to
tell? I see there are 2 find commands and it looks in some cases
running one may not be sufficient. So how can we make sure that self
heal worked. Currently I am testing with one file so it's easy to
verify but with millions of files it may not be possible.

Also, is there any place where I can read about these translators. I
didn;t even know there is something called as stat translator and this
could be a problem too.

Thanks a lot for responding to my questions.
