I want reads/writes to simply block when the server is down and to complete (the blocked calls) when the server returns. I do not want my applications to get an error, only a delay. Without this it is not possible to recover gracefully from a server/network failure. > > While we are at it, what is the timeout in, seconds, milliseconds? http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/Translators_v1.4#client says: "# option transport-timeout 30 # seconds to wait for a response # from server for each request" Setting that to 604800 should give you a week to fix the server. ;-) I hope it will try to reconnect sometimes to see if the server is up again.
