The situation you're facing is because of self-heal not being done on open fds which in turn might lead to split brain scenarios. Self-heal not being done on open fds is a known issue and will be fixed. As far as the split brain scenarios, glusterfs can just identify that is a split-brain and manual intervention is needed to copy the correct file. And the documentation on split brain explains the reasons for it.

Raghavendra,
Do you know what release are you planning on fixing the open file self heal bug? It appears to be the root cause of a lot of other critical issues and general misunderstands about what gluster is capable of doing. I don't see anything mentioned about this in the http://gluster.org/docs/index.php/GlusterFS_Roadmap
It will be out in 2.1 release, which can happen in November, 2009.
Thanks,
Brian
