Hi, I'm evaluate glusterfs and I setup an test-enviorment like in http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/Simple_High_Availability_Storage_with_GlusterFS_1.3#Simple_setup_.28_Only_AFR_.29 described. But "only" with 2 insted of 3 machines. All of them are virtual machines (vmware) I simulate a server crash on server "2" (disconnect network on vmware-console) at this point I'm not able to access to the mount point on the client side directly. I type ls directly after disconnect of server "2": client:/mnt/gluster# time ls file1 file2 file3 real 3m21.505s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.000s Has anyone a hint for me? #### Here is my SERVER-CONFIG: volume brick type storage/posix option directory /export end-volume volume server type protocol/server subvolumes brick option transport-type tcp/server # For TCP/IP transport option auth.ip.brick.allow * end-volume #### Here is my CLIENT-CONFIG: volume brick1 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 10.0.0.41 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume ### Add client feature and attach to remote subvolume of server2 volume brick2 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 10.0.0.42 option remote-subvolume brick end-volume volume afr type cluster/afr subvolumes brick1 brick2 end-volume ### My system: debian lenny glusterfs-1.3.8pre5 fuse-utils 2.7.3-3 libfuse2 2.7.3-3 -- regards Dennis
