Hi All, I got some error when create directories. If create several directories from client A and then delete the directories from client B. The error message will be showed as below when the same directories are created again from client A, and the return value is 1. mkdir: cannot create directory `/pgfsfs/test/a98': Device or resource busy In fact, all directories can be created, just some creating got error message and return 1. If create and delete directories from same client, it have no problem. You can repeat the symptom easily by below script #!/bin/bash folder="/pgfs/test/" for ((i=0;i<=100;i+=1)); do mkdir $folder$1$i echo $? Done Testing procedure: 1. run script from client A 2. rm -rf * from client B 3. run script from client A again Version of clients and servers are 1.3.10 ---------- Client --------- volume pgfs01 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 172.16.40.11 option remote-subvolume storage-ds-locks end-volume volume pgfs01-ns type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 172.16.40.11 option remote-subvolume storage-ns end-volume volume pgfs02 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 172.16.40.12 option remote-subvolume storage-ds-locks end-volume volume pgfs02-ns type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 172.16.40.12 option remote-subvolume storage-ns end-volume volume pgfs03 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 172.16.40.13 option remote-subvolume storage-ds-locks end-volume volume pgfs04 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp/client option remote-host 172.16.40.14 option remote-subvolume storage-ds-locks end-volume volume afr-ns type cluster/afr subvolumes pgfs01-ns pgfs02-ns end-volume volume afr01 type cluster/afr subvolumes pgfs01 pgfs02 end-volume volume afr02 type cluster/afr subvolumes pgfs03 pgfs04 end-volume volume storage-unify type cluster/unify subvolumes afr01 afr02 option namespace afr-ns option scheduler rr option rr.limits.min-free-disk 5% end-volume --------- Server ---------- volume storage-ds type storage/posix option directory /pgfs/storage end-volume volume storage-ns type storage/posix option directory /pgfs/storage-ns end-volume volume storage-ds-locks type features/posix-locks subvolumes storage-ds option mandatory on end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp/server subvolumes storage-ds-locks option auth.ip.storage-ds-locks.allow 172.16.* option auth.ip.storage-ns.allow 172.16.* end-volume Thx a lot, Ben
