Hi, If you translate a5b67f into decimal, then that is the inode number of the inode which is causing a problem. It looks to me as if you have too many processes trying to access this one inode from multiple nodes. Its not obvious from the traces that anything is actually stuck, but if you take two traces, a few seconds or minutes apart, then it should become more obvious whether the cluster is making progress or whether it really is stuck, Steve. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
