hi.
i've got a clustered mail system with glusterfs and some postfix,
squirrelmail and dovecot machines sharing the same storage system
through glusterfs.
each server has only postfix or squirrel or dovecot installed on it.
The thing is... dovecot servers hang very often and the last thing they
always log is this:

these are basic debian etch brand new set ups, they have nothing else
than dovecot and glusterfs-client installed on them. The thing is all
machines i've got have the very same version of glusterfs-client, but
only the dovecot ones hang.
Do you have any idea?
Thank you.
