Hi! I'm using glusterfs-1.3.9tla790 unify (without AFR) and also periodically has troubles with NS. Sometimes, when many files are copied to unify volume, the operation is stalled. And the client log is flooded by messages like: W [client-protocol.c:332:client_protocol_xfer] c-ns: not connected at the moment to submit frame type(1) op(35) The glusterfs server not really crash, but eat 100% CPU. Restarting it restores the normal work. There are also many other messages concerning namespace, like ------ W [client-protocol.c:1711:client_closedir] c-ns: no proper fd found, returning E [client-protocol.c:4834:client_protocol_cleanup] c-ns: forced unwinding frame type(1) op(34) reply=@0xc165b0 E [client-protocol.c:4430:client_lookup_cbk] c-ns: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN E [unify.c:182:unify_lookup_cbk] bricks: c-ns returned 107 ------ W [client-protocol.c:205:call_bail] c-ns: activating bail-out. pending frames = 3. last sent = 2008-07-28 16:05:38. last received = 1970-01-01 03:00:00 transport-timeout = 42 C [client-protocol.c:212:call_bail] c-ns: bailing transport ------ Note the strange last received date... ----- W [client-protocol.c:280:client_protocol_xfer] c-ns: attempting to pipeline request type(1) op(34) with handshake ----- W [client-protocol.c:4784:client_protocol_cleanup] c-ns: cleaning up state in transport object 0x64 E [client-protocol.c:4834:client_protocol_cleanup] c-ns: forced unwinding frame type(1) op(34) reply=@0x66c140 E [client-protocol.c:4430:client_lookup_cbk] c-ns: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN ---- [client-protocol.c:4784:client_protocol_cleanup] c-ns: cleaning up state in transport object 0x64d310 [client-protocol.c:4834:client_protocol_cleanup] c-ns: forced unwinding frame type(1) op(36) reply=@0x2aaab0048720 [client-protocol.c:4215:client_setdents_cbk] c-ns: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN [client-protocol.c:4834:client_protocol_cleanup] c-ns: forced unwinding frame type(1) op(36) reply=@0x2aaab0048720 [client-protocol.c:4215:client_setdents_cbk] c-ns: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN [client-protocol.c:4834:client_protocol_cleanup] c-ns: forced unwinding frame type(1) op(23) reply=@0x2aaab0048720 [client-protocol.c:3310:client_getdents_cbk] c-ns: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN [client-protocol.c:1711:client_closedir] c-ns: no proper fd found, returning [client-protocol.c:4834:client_protocol_cleanup] c-ns: forced unwinding frame type(1) op(34) reply=@0x2aaab0048720 [client-protocol.c:4430:client_lookup_cbk] c-ns: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN [client-protocol.c:4834:client_protocol_cleanup] c-ns: forced unwinding frame type(1) op(22) reply=@0x2aaab0048720 [client-protocol.c:3767:client_opendir_cbk] c-ns: no proper reply from server, returning ENOTCONN ---- E [client-protocol.c:1884:client_fstat] c-ns: : returning EBADFD E [unify.c:118:unify_buf_cbk] bricks: c-ns returned 77 ---- All these are from different places of the log (rather huge now), and probably not connected to each other. It's just to show different types of warnings and errors I've really saw. The name-space in my case is just a folder on common ext3 volume. It's for testing purposes, I'm going to use separate reiserfs volume for it later. But probably it's somehow connected with NS problems which I'm seeing now.
