On one for my clients running Gentoo, I get the following log entries if I restart glusterfsd on my bricks with the client running: 2007-07-21 17:50:33 E [client-protocol.c:336:client_protocol_xfer] client2: transport_submit failed 2007-07-21 17:52:18 C [client-protocol.c:219:call_bail] client1: bailing transport 2007-07-21 17:52:18 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] client1: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:52:18 E [client-protocol.c:336:client_protocol_xfer] client1: transport_submit failed 2007-07-21 17:53:34 C [client-protocol.c:219:call_bail] client2: bailing transport 2007-07-21 17:53:34 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] client2: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:53:34 E [client-protocol.c:336:client_protocol_xfer] client2: transport_submit failed 2007-07-21 17:55:18 C [client-protocol.c:219:call_bail] client1: bailing transport 2007-07-21 17:55:18 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] client1: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:55:18 E [client-protocol.c:336:client_protocol_xfer] client1: transport_submit failed 2007-07-21 17:56:34 C [client-protocol.c:219:call_bail] client2: bailing transport 2007-07-21 17:56:34 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] client2: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:56:34 E [client-protocol.c:336:client_protocol_xfer] client2: transport_submit failed 2007-07-21 17:58:18 C [client-protocol.c:219:call_bail] client1: bailing transport 2007-07-21 17:58:18 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] client1: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:58:18 E [client-protocol.c:336:client_protocol_xfer] client1: transport_submit failed 2007-07-21 17:59:34 C [client-protocol.c:219:call_bail] client2: bailing transport 2007-07-21 17:59:34 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] client2: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:59:34 E [client-protocol.c:336:client_protocol_xfer] client2: transport_submit failed ... These log entries continue even though the client see no apparent effect. If glusterfs is restarted after the bricks are restarted, the log entries do not appear. Note: the logging is in WARNING mode. These are the corresponding brick logs: brick1: 2007-07-21 17:36:16 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:36:16 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:39:16 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:39:16 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:40:17 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:40:17 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:43:17 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:43:17 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:46:17 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:46:17 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:49:17 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:49:17 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:52:18 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:52:18 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:55:18 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:55:18 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:58:18 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:58:18 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 18:03:23 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 18:03:23 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected brick2 and ns: 2007-07-21 17:34:30 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:34:30 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:37:30 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:37:30 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:41:30 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:41:30 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:44:31 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:44:31 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:47:31 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:47:31 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:50:31 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:50:31 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:53:31 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:53:31 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:56:32 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:56:32 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 17:59:32 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 17:59:32 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 18:03:21 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 18:03:21 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected 2007-07-21 18:03:21 E [protocol.c:262:gf_block_unserialize_transport] libglusterfs/protocol: full_read of header failed: peer (10.255.62.81) 2007-07-21 18:03:21 C [tcp.c:81:tcp_disconnect] server: connection disconnected As with the client, once glusterfs is restarted on the client the server log entries stop. This does not occur on my Ubuntu client. Harrisl
