Given the recent discussion of GFS2's stability I thought I'd chime in with a problem test case. I've noticed a deadlock in the following situation: 3 node Debian (Lenny) cluster of esx based vm nodes using either fibre channel or open-iscsi based storage. Version 2.03.06 on the redhat-cluster-suite software, 0.80.3 openais, and 2.6.26 on the kernel. cssh node1 node2 node3 cd /gfs2/ mkdir $HOSTNAME echo $HOSTNAME > $HOSTNAME/test rm -rf * The last command generally deadlocks at least one of the machines. Any access attempts to the /gfs2 volume simply hang. No logs in dmesg, messages, etc. On a few occasions about 24 hours later it'll get fenced, but usually it's just stuck indefinitely. I haven't had a chance to look into this in much more depth since I had to get something running so I just went back to OCFS2. I now have an opportunity to test with things again, so if someone would like more information or could possibly tell me what's wrong that would be nice.
