glusterfs.git/tests/bugs/replicate/bug-1417522-block-split-brain-resolution.t, branch v4.1.0alpha afr: all children of AFR must be up to resolve s-brain 2017-02-10T01:37:00+00:00 Ravishankar N ravishankar@redhat.com 2017-01-30T04:24:16+00:00 0e03336a9362e5717e561f76b0c543e5a197b31b Problem: The various split-brain resolution policies (favorite-child-policy based, CLI based and mount (get/setfattr) based) attempt to resolve split-brain even when not all bricks of replica are up. This can be a problem when say in a replica 3, the only good copy is down and the other 2 bricks are up and blame each other (i.e. split-brain). We end up healing the file in such a case and allow I/O on it. Fix: A decision on whether the file is in split-brain or not must be taken only if we are able to examine the afr xattrs of *all* bricks of a given replica.
