Makes some sense. Yes, I meant "make a backup and delete", rather than just delete.

If I may suggest, putting that debug link somewhere more visible would be be good, too. I wouldn't find without your help.
Justin, where shall we put the doc?

Thank you for the assistance.

    I don't understand why there's such a complicated process to

    need and delete another one.
    If the file needs to be deleted the whole file needs to be copied
    which is fine for small files but for big files like VM images it
    takes less time if the file already exists and it syncs only the
    parts of files that are different from the good copy.
    One more reason is if the parent directory from which the file is
    deleted from is the source then self-heal will delete the file
    from other directory rather than creating it. SO instead of
    deleting the file may be it is a better practise to make a copy of
    the file somewhere and delete it. We shall update the document as
    well with this new information. Thanks for the feedback. In 3.7 it
    is going to be simplified. We are giving a command to fix the
    split-brains where the user gets to choose the file and it will do
    the rest.

        Right... I deleted it and now all appears to be fine.

        Still, could you please elaborate on "gfid split-brain"?
        Could you go through
        
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/doc/debugging/split-brain.md
        Let us know if you would like something to be more clearer
        and we can add that and improve the document.

            Could you check if this file exists in

            When a file is deleted this file also needs to be
            deleted if there are no more hardlinks to the file

                What's a gfid split-brain and how is it different

                    Ahh, thank you, now I get it. I deleted it on

                    I get the following output:

                    Brick gluster2:/home/gluster/gv01/
                    Number of entries: 0

                    Is it normal? Why the number of entries isn't
                    reset to 0?
                    If you access the file using ls/stat etc, it
                    will be fixed. But before that could you please
                    post the output of 'getfattr -d -m. -e hex
                    file/path/in/backend/brick' and 'getfattr -d
                    -m. -e hex
                    parent/dir/to/file/path/in/backend/brick'

                    Pranith


                    And why wouldn't the file show up in
                    split-brain before, anyway?
                    Gfid split-brains are not shown in
                    heal-info-split-brain yet.

                        Hello.

                        I've Gluster 3.5.2 on Centos 6. A
                        primitive replicated volume, as describe
                        here
                        
<https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-redundant-storage-pool-using-glusterfs-on-ubuntu-servers>.
                        I tried to simulate split-brain by
                        temporarily disconnecting the nodes and
                        creating a file with the same name and
                        different contents. That worked.

                        The question is, how do I fix it now? All
                        the tutorials suggest deleting the file
                        from one of the nodes. I can't do that,
                        it reports "Input/output error". The file
                        won't even show up in "gluster volume
                        heal gv00 info split-brain". That shows 0
                        entries.
                        The deletion needs to happen on one of the
                        bricks, not from the mount point.

                        Pranith
                        I can see the file in "gluster volume
                        heal gv00 info heal-failed", though.
