Avati,
I've send the log 5 days ago by private mail. Have you recieved it?
Can I provide any additional info?
Meanwhile I've tried some tests in debug mode. And now the ALU client
on the head node (with namespace) doesn't work at all. :)
First, I should describe the glusterFS config on the head node in more
detail. The server and client runs in different processes. The server
config is rather ordinary:
---------- server.vol --------
volume brick-ns
type storage/posix # POSIX FS translator
option directory /mnt/glusterfs-ns # Export this directory
end-volume
volume disk
type storage/posix
option directory /mnt/hd.sda3/glusterfs-export
end-volume
volume brick
type features/posix-locks
option mandatory on
subvolumes disk
end-volume
volume server
type protocol/server
option transport-type tcp/server
# option listen-port 6996
# option client-volume-filename /etc/glusterfs/client.vol
subvolumes brick brick-ns
option auth.ip.brick.allow 10.1.0.*
option auth.ip.brick-ns.allow 10.1.0.*
end-volume
----------------------
But the client config is probably incorrect (as I think now):
--------------- client.vol --------------
# NB: Namespace is storage/posix, not protocol/client
volume c-ns
type storage/posix
option directory /mnt/glusterfs-ns
end-volume
volume c31
type protocol/client
option transport-type tcp/client
option remote-host 10.1.0.31
# option remote-port 6996
option remote-subvolume brick
end-volume
[....skiped....]
volume bricks
type cluster/unify
option namespace c-ns
subvolumes c31 c32 c33 c34 c35 c36 c37 c38 c41 c42 c43 c44 c45 c46
c47 c48 c51 c52 c53 c54 c55 c56 c57 c58
option scheduler alu
option alu.limits.min-free-disk 5%
option alu.limits.max-open-files 10000
option alu.order
disk-usage:read-usage:write-usage:open-files-usage:disk-speed-usage
option alu.disk-usage.entry-threshold 2GB
option alu.disk-usage.exit-threshold 128MB
option alu.open-files-usage.entry-threshold 1024
option alu.open-files-usage.exit-threshold 32
option alu.stat-refresh.interval 10sec
end-volume
volume wb
type performance/write-behind
option aggregate-size 1MB
subvolumes bricks
end-volume
---------
Running glusterFS in such a way, I'd disconnected one cluster node
(namely c35) and executed "ls -l /home" on the head node (it's a
glusterFS mount point). At once the ALU unify locked up, and the
client.log got the following lines :

I was forced to reset the head node (glusterfs process couldn't be
killed). This helped before, but not that time. The head node
glusterFS ALU now always locks on "ls -l /home".
I'd revised the client.vol config and changed the namespace type to
ordinary "protocol/client". It became possible to kill glusterFS
client while it "bailing transport" and therefore to experiment...
The head-node client running in debug mode logs the following while
executing "ls -l /home":

So, something strange happened with the /home/danilov dir... I've
checked the underlying ext3 FS and found no errors. The contents of
this dir is fully accessible from all other cluster nodes, provided
the head node client is not running.
Maybe the problem is with the namespace, and I should just recreate
it. But it's interesting to investigate what is going on and how to
fix it in a more right way. :)
Looking forward for any answer,
Andrey
