Gluster users - Feb 2015 - Simulate split-brain on gluster 3.6

Hi,

I am simulating a split brain condition on my cluster but I don't be able
it. I have disconnected the nodes and creating a file with the same name
and different contents but always the self-heal process take the last copy
of the file.

How can create thos condition?

thanks

1.  Kill both brick processes
2.  Edit the changelog on both files on the backend, make them different:

getfattr -d -e hex -m "trusted.afr." <my file>
You should see something like:

trusted.afr.GLUSTER-SHARE-client-0=0x000000000000000000000000
trusted.afr.GLUSTER-SHARE-client-1=0x000000000000000000000000

Next set them to values that clash:

setfattr -n "trusted.afrGLUSTER-SHARE-client-0" -v
0x000000000000000200000000
setfattr -n "trusted.afrGLUSTER-SHARE-client-1" -v
0x000000000000000300000000

setfattr -n "trusted.afrGLUSTER-SHARE-client-0" -v
0x000000000000000300000000
setfattr -n "trusted.afrGLUSTER-SHARE-client-1" -v
0x000000000000000200000000

3.  Restart both brick processes.

4.  Gluster v heal <my vol> info split-brain

I haven't done this for a while but IIRC those command will get you there. 
The -v syntax may not be correct on the setfattr, but this should get you going.
