Hi again, If one thinks about a large amount of data, maybe as a replacement for tapes. Will auto heal of gluster help with data corruption problems? I would expect that, but only, if the files are accessed on a regular basis. As far as I have seen, there is no regular scrub mechanism like in zfs? Kind Regards Uwe Kastens kisteorg at googlemail.com

With proative/Background self-heal, you will get something similar to that. Stay tuned.
