Stale file handle is an indication of a split brain situation. On a 3-way replica, this
could only mean gfid mismatch (gfid is unique id for each file in gluster).
I think those .probxxxx can be deleted safely, but I am not fully convinced.
What version of oVirt are you using ? What about gluster version ?

2 days ago I found that 2 of the 3 oVirt nodes had been set to
'Non-Operational'. GlusterFS seemed to be ok from the commandline, but the oVirt
engine WebUI was reporting 2 out of 3 bricks per volume as down and event logs were
filling up with the following types of messages.

After trying different methods to resolve without success I did the following.
1. Moved any VM disks using Storage Domain data03 onto other Storage Domains.
2. Placed data03 Storage Domain ionto Maintenance mode.
3. Placed host03 into Maintenance mode, stopping Gluster services and rebooting.
4. Ensuring all Bricks were up, the peers connected and healing started.
5. Once Gluster volumes were healed I activated host03, at which point host01 also
activated.
6. Host01 was showing as disconnected on most bricks so I rebooted it which resolved
this.
7. I activated Storage Domain data03 without issue.
The system has been left for 24hrs with no further issues.
The issue is now resolved but it would be helful to know what happened to cause the issues
with the Storage Domain data03 and where do I look to confirm.
Regards
Simon...
