Hi
yes we had the same prob on GFS 3.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 using SRP we could not get SRP to work well, very inconstant, always drops or fails. Even IPOIB was faulty. we also tried 12.04, same deal. We didn't get to the point of using ZFS with GFS, as we tried it on OpenIndiana and it was very slow. only 2-3GB/s on infiniband. We then tried ZFS on Ubuntu and it was slow there also. So gave up on ZFS until it matures more, and is part of Kernel , and we felt the same for GFS, needs to mature more, and resolve infiniband RDMA issues. Wed be interested to work on it long term though.
