hi,
Replicate only keeps track of the fact that an operation is performed
successfully on one brick while on the other brick it was not successful. It
does not know the actual change. So you can endup where both the files are same
but there is xattr-split-brain.
Example:
touch f
bring brick-0 down
echo 'a' > f
brick brick-0 up, bring brick-1 down (assume self-heal on this file was not
trggered on this file)
echo 'a' > f
Bring brick-1 up. Now the file 'f' is in xattr split-brain, even though both of
the files contain same data.
Pranith.

glusterfs 3.3 behavior is really odd. It was possible to read the
offending file, and after a while, it started returning EIO again.
Removing the file and its gfid hardlink seems to workaround the
problem, though.
But I still do not understand how they are considered in metadata split brain:
all metadata were the same:
On brick1:
