I am receiving the same error

geo-replication status is Faulty and it appears as if the gsyncd.py process is unable to start on the slave server.

gluster-server 3.7.11-1~bpo8+1 on Debian 8.

The error I was receiving was due to rsync not being installed on the slave server.

While trying one of the rm case on cascading cases(private build based on 3.1.0+patches), I could reproduce this issue by following steps:

1. Create geo-rep cascaded setup with (vol0,vol1,vol2). Such that vol0=>vol1, vol1=>vol2
2. Mount the vol0 volume and perform:
[root@fan data]# for i in {1..100}; do cp -rf /root/data/new_data/* . ; sleep 5 ; rm -rf * ; sleep 2 ; done
[root@fan data]#

Following traceback on one of the master is seen:

    geo-rep: Fix logging sync failures
    
    If Rsync/Tar subprocess dies, while logging error Geo-rep fails
