Yep, I experience this exact lock-up state on the 2.x train of
GlusterFS with two severs, each with local client, and have so far
given up testing :( - I run 1.3 in production which still has problems
when one of the servers goes down, and was hoping to move up to 2.x
quickly, but cant at the moment.
Every time a new version comes out I update hoping it will be solved.
Because the machine that hangs, hangs so completely one can't ssh in
and can't get a proper dump from the process, and any DEBUG log
enabled has no information in it either, so I haven't been able to
provide anything useful to the team to work from :(

Hello all,
last week we saw our first try to enable something like a real-world
environment on glusterfs fail.
Nevertheless we managed to get a working combination of _one_ server
and _one_
client (using a replicate setup with a missing second server).
This setup worked for about 4 days, so yesterday we tried to enable
the second
server. Within minutes the first one crashed. Well, really we do not
know if
it crashed in its true meaning, the situation looked like this:
- server was ping'able
- glusterfsd was disconnected by the client because of missing ping-
pong
- no login possible
- no fs action (no lights on the hd-stack)
- no screen (was blank, stayed blank)
This could also be a user-space hang or cpu busy/looping. We don't
know.
The really interesting part is that the server worked for days being
single,
but as soon as dual server fs action (obviously in combination with
self
healing) started it did not survive 10 minutes.
Of course the second server went on, but we had to stop the whole
thing
because the data was not completely healed, so it made no sense to
go on with
old copies.
This was glusterfs 2.0.6 with a minimal server setup (storage/posix,
features/locks, performance/io-threads) on a linux kernel 2.6.25.2.
Is there someone out there that experienced something the like?
Any ideas?
