I presumed when you took a node down you migrated you're VM's to another node, so all VM's would be running. Depending on your heal settings this can be a complete content transfer of the file. Some one feel free to correct me on this, but gluster doesn't not track which sectors are dirty, so it has two strategies it can emply: - Diff: Compute and compare a checksum each sector/block between separate replicas. (CPU Intensive) - Full. Just copy the entire file across (Network intensive). -- Lindsay
