Hello Vikas, Thank you for your help. Gluster does not seem to core dump when this occurrence happens thus it is not creating a dump file. Hopefully I can provide all the information you need to help you diagnose this issue.
Per the original email we get an error message indicating a stale NFS mount. Unfortunately, we are not using NFS at any point in our setup so the error is misleading. Once this condition occurs we cannot connect to the Gluster mount point without re-mounting (standard umount/mount). Below are the exact steps to reproduce our particular problem: --------------------------- /mnt/control <- contains sample (random) files on a LOCAL drive /mnt/backups <- our glusterfs mount point --------------------------- --NO gluster backup0:/mnt# ps auxw | grep glus | grep -v grep --Mounting Gluster (see bottom for fstab) backup0:/mnt# mount /mnt/backups/ --Gluster is running backup0:/mnt# ps auxw | grep glus | grep -v grep root 4341 0.0 0.0 27844 1456 ?

What I meant was the client log file you can usually find in /usr/local/var/log/glusterfs/glusterfs.log. If you have a core file from glusterfs (look in /core.*), you can get a backtrace by: # gdb /path/to/glusterfs /path/to/core/file (gdb) thread apply all bt full Please send us the output of that command. ------------------------------ Vikas Gorur Engineer - Gluster, Inc. +1 (408) 770 1894 ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
