Hello, This issue is similar to the issue comments in the GlusterFS list ?Timeout settings and self-healing? (WAS: HA failover test unsuccessful (inaccessible mountpoint))? I have already probed the ?option transport-timeout 20? . The result are the same, the first ?ls? of the other clients takes 30 seconds, others ?ls? takes a variable time. Even times the file system is blocked during a large time 3 or 4 minutes. I have made the test with a simple schema with the same results. 2 servers (one export a brick for storage and a brick for namespace and the other server exports a brick for storage). At the client side is defined the unify translator (without replication). The test is to upload a large file (3.5 GB) to the GlusterFS and then unplugged the network cable of the client who uploads the file. The client (upload) log says: C [tcp.c:87:tcp_disconnect] brick1: connection disconnected E [unify.c:325:unify_lookup] unify: returning ESTALE for /(17314670376) [translator generation (0) inode generation (3)] E [fuse-bridge.c:459:fuse_entry_cbk] glusterfs-fuse: 111: (34) / => -1 (116) E [unify.c:325:unify_lookup] unify: returning ESTALE for /(17314670376) [translator generation (0) inode generation (3)] The client log (other client, ls) says: E [client-protocol.c:4520:client_getspec_cbk] trans: no proper reply from server, returning ENTCONN E [client-protocol-c:4809:client_protocol_cleanup] trnas torced unwinding frame type(2) op(4) reply=@0x8050988] The server log says: E [protocol.c:271:gf_block_unserialize_tranposrt] server: EOF from peer (10.1.0.45:1023) C [tcp.c:87:tcp_disconnect] server: connection] The version of GlusterFS is 1.3.8pre5. The version of fuse is 2.7.2glfs9 The next test will be with and older version, p.e. glusterfs 1.3.7. do you think that this test is necessary ?? Thanks for the reply.

Thanks, -----Mensaje original----- De: gluster-devel-bounces+antonio.gonzalez=libera.net@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gluster-devel-bounces+antonio.gonzalez <mailto:gluster-devel-bounces%2Bantonio.gonzalez> =libera.net@xxxxxxxxxx] En nombre de Antonio González Enviado el: lunes, 14 de abril de 2008 18:51 Para: gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxx Asunto: problem when client goes down Hello all, the scenario is: * 3 machines as server (pc1, pc2 exports three volumes (storage, replication, namespace), pc3 exports two bricks (storage/posix). * Pc1 replicates pc2, pc2 replicates pc3 and pc3 replicates pc1. * Namespace is replicated at pc1 and pc2. * AFR's and unify at client side. * 2 machines as client. The test is to copy a file from GlusterFS to local and shut down the network before the copy finishes. I can see that the client who launched the command waits until the network is operative. I think that is normal that the client waits a response from server (or timeout). But the problem is that if I try to "ls" in the GlusterFS file system from other client, is blocked also. I don't know if the configuration is not correct or if a GlusterFS problem is. Thanks?
