Re: Problem with clients that goes down..

Hi Antonio,

Excuse us, somehow your issue was not responded to.

If I understand correctly, you are facing two problems:
1) plugging out the cable on one client will make other clients hang
2) the timeout value you specify in spec file does not reflect
   in the actual timeout you see when you access glusterfs.

Is that correct? I have lost track of your setup details. Searching mail
archives did not give me the exact picture. Can you give the setup
details with config files? And also the tests?

Surely the problem you are facing should be fixed.

Regards
Krishna
