Abstract
Techniques for pro-active self-healing in a distributed file system are disclosure herein. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided. The method comprises prior to detecting an access request by a client application to an image on a storage server, identifying, by a self-healing daemon executed by a processing device, a first region of the image comprising stale data. A partial lock on the image is acquired. The partial lock prevents access to the first region of the image. Responsive to acquiring the partial lock, the self-healing daemon provides access to a second region of the image file comprising data other than the stale data.
