Hi, From the logs the following observations were made: at 13:27:38 the glusterd restart has happened on node 10.70.35.38. [2018-10-12 13:27:38.467525] I [MSGID: 100030] [glusterfsd.c:2504:main] 0-/usr/sbin/glusterd: Started running /usr/sbin/glusterd version 3.12.2 (args: /usr/sbin/glusterd -p /var/run/glusterd.pid --log-level INFO) At this time the volumes have to be synced in the handshake. The handshake started around 13:27:45 [2018-10-12 13:27:45.983464] I [MSGID: 106163] [glusterd-handshake.c:1319:__glusterd_mgmt_hndsk_versions_ack] 0-management: using the op-version 31302 and went till 13:27:59.876472 on 10.70.35.38 [2018-10-12 13:27:59.876472] I [MSGID: 106493] [glusterd-rpc-ops.c:701:__glusterd_friend_update_cbk] 0-management: Received ACC from uuid: 4382f67b-e759-409f-a579-f8c98ededd83 And the time the gluster volume delete for the volume iceberg-2-1-9-5 has been issued: [2018-10-12 13:27:59.875956] : v delete iceberg-2-1-9-5 : SUCCESS From the above observation the delete was issued while the handshake was happening. As the handshake started before delete and the iceberg-2-1-9-5 was supposed to be available in the cross checked file for handshake. And this was being synced in the restarted node (10.70.35.38). Now delete was issued and it deleted the entry as the node has come up. After the delete completed successfully and removed the entry, the handshake has created the entry for the iceberg-2-1-9-5. This is why the entry has stage_deleted as false (before delete was issued it is false). And to confirm further the entry is available only on the node that went through a reboot (10.70.35.38) and not in the other nodes.
