Ok, no problem. The issue is very rare, even with our setup - we have seen it only once on one site even though we have been in production for several months now. For now, we can live with that IMO. And, thanks again. Anirban___ Gluster-users

It is possible, yes, because these are actually a kind of log files. I suppose, like other logging frameworks these files an remain open for a considerable period, and then get renamed to support log rotate semantics. That said, I might need to check with the team that actually manages the

I see. Thanks a tonne for the thorough explanation! :) I can see that our setup would be vulnerable here because the logger on one server is not generally aware of the state of the replica on the other server. So, it is possible that the log files may have been renamed before heal had a chance

It happens with me sometimes. Try `tail -n 20 /var/log/glusterfs/nfs.log`. You will probably find something out that will help your cause. In general, if you just wish to start the thing up without going into the why of it, try `gluster volume set engine nfs.disable on` followed by `gluster

Hello, I am facing an intermittent issue with the mount.glusterfs program freezing up. Investigation reveals that it is not exactly the mount system call but the 'stat' call from within mount.glusterfs that is actually hung. Any other command such as df or ls also hang. I opened a redhat

Suppose I have a replica 2 setup using XFS for my volume, and that I also export my files over nfs, and write access is expected. Now if I wish to avoid split brains at all cost, even during server crashes and such, I am given to understand that direct-io mode would help. I know that there is

Dear gluster users, I am facing a tiny bit of issue with the glusterfs nfs server. If I export a volume testvol, and within testvol, I have a path, say, dir1/dir2. If dir1 and dir2 are actual directories, then one can simply mount testvol/dir1/dir2 over nfs. However, if either of dir1 or dir2
