Fixed In Version: glusterfs-3.12.2-33
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
In replica 3 volume, renaming a file while the brick with the 'good copy' of the file is down would result in removal of the file during self-heal, leading to data loss. With this release, lookup of a file will fail if there is no good copy (as determined by AFR xattrs) found, dismissing the rename option and limiting the data loss.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1357000 +++

Description of problem:
=========================
there is a case where rename of a file leads to data loss.



Steps to Reproduce:
===================
1.create a 1x(2+1) volume with bricks as say db1,db2 and ab1
2.now mount the vol by fuse
3.create a directory say dir1
4. Now bring down the first data brick(db1) 
5. create a file say f1 under dir1 with some contents 
6. note down the getfattr details from both db2 and ab1 
7. now bring down db2 and bring up db1
8. trigger a heal 
9. now rename f1 to f2
10. now bring up db2 and trigger a heal
11. from mount do a cat of f2

We get EIO
