Hello I still have a few problems to sort out with my NetBSD port of glusterfs. On of them is the strangs stalls I have doing normal operation. I run glusterfsd -N --debug -L DEBUG on the server side and glusterfs -N --debug -L DEBUG /mnt on the client side. I can observe the transactions going back and forth. When copying a directory, exchanges often stall for a few seconds. If I attach with gdb to check what the server is doing, I have this: #0 0xbbada5a7 in _lwp_park () from /lib/libc.so.12 #1 0xbbbae8eb in pthread_cond_timedwait () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 #2 0xbba96062 in posix_janitor_thread_proc (data=0xbb95b060) at posix.c:1404 #3 0xbbbb09df in pthread_create () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 #4 0xbbafc670 in swapcontext () from /lib/libc.so.12 This is this block: if (list_empty (&priv->janitor_fds)) { time (&timeout.tv_sec); timeout.tv_sec += priv->janitor_sleep_duration; timeout.tv_nsec = 0; pthread_cond_timedwait (&priv->janitor_cond, &priv->janitor_lock, &timeout); goto unlock; } gdb tells me that priv->janitor_sleep_duration is set to 600. I assume I have a bug to track somewhere, but perhaps a person knowledgable with glusterfs could give me a good hint. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus manu@xxxxxxxxxx
