+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1144108 +++

Description of problem:

Sometimes, specially on NetBSD, ec test scripts fail because the size of a file on one of the bricks has an incorrect size.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): master


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

This is caused by a side effect of the read of a file though the mount point when a brick is down. This may generate an update of the access time, leaving the not running brick in an invalid state. This is correctly healed by self-heal, but the script was not giving enough time to self-heal to complete.

    test/ec: Fix spurious failures caused by self-heal
    
    The sha1sum of a file may update the access time of that file.
    If this happens while a brick is down, as it is forced in the
    test, that brick doesn't get the update, getting out of sync.
    
    When the brick is restarted, self-heal repairs the file, but
    the test shouldn't access brick contents until self-heal finishes.
    If this is combined with a kill of another brick before self-heal
    has finished repairing the file, the volume could become inaccessible.
    
    Since the purpose of these tests is only to check ec functionality
    (there is another test that checks self-heal), the test that corrupts
    the file has been removed.
    
    Additional checks to validate the state of the volume have been added
    to avoid some timing issues.
