I understand the threads are here, but the process is corrupted enough that gdb cannot figure them out. A kernel thread shows 15 threads operating and they do not terminate before it stops responding. Running with electric fence leads to an early crash. I am not sure it is related, but it is probably worth a fix: Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 slotForUserAddress (address=0x7f7ff2bafff4) at efence.c:648 648 efence.c: No such file or directory. in efence.c (gdb) bt #0 slotForUserAddress (address=0x7f7ff2bafff4) at efence.c:648 #1 free (address=0x7f7ff2bafff4) at efence.c:713 #2 0x00007f7ff744a31a in runner_end (runner=0x7f7ff1bfeef0) at run.c:370 #3 0x00007f7ff744ac9e in runner_run_generic (runner=0x7f7ff1bfeef0, rfin=0x7f7ff744a2f6 <runner_end>) at run.c:386 #4 0x00007f7ff343ddb9 in glusterd_volume_start_glusterfs ( volinfo=0x7f7ff370fae0, brickinfo=0x7f7ff37407a8, wait=_gf_true) at glusterd-utils.c:1337 #5 0x00007f7ff344366b in glusterd_brick_start (volinfo=0x7f7ff370fae0, brickinfo=0x7f7ff37407a8, wait=_gf_true) at glusterd-utils.c:3961 #6 0x00007f7ff3447328 in glusterd_restart_bricks (conf=0x7f7ff73f2a98) at glusterd-utils.c:3991 #7 0x00007f7ff743c9c4 in synctask_wrap (old_task=<optimized out>) at syncop.c:129 #8 0x00007f7ff5e580a0 in swapcontext () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12 In runner_end(): 368 if (runner->argv) { 369 for (p = runner->argv; *p; p++) 370 GF_FREE (*p); Inspection of runner->argv shows it is not NULL terminated. electric-fence with EF_PROTECT_BELOW cause us to crash here: 0x7f7ff2ba7e00: 0xf2babfe4 0x00007f7f 0xf2badffc 0x00007f7f 0x7f7ff2ba7e10: 0xf2bafff4 0x00007f7f 0xf2bb1ff0 0x00007f7f 0x7f7ff2ba7e20: 0xf2bb3fe4 0x00007f7f 0xf2bb5ffc 0x00007f7f 0x7f7ff2ba7e30: 0xf2bb7fc4 0x00007f7f 0xf2bb9ffc 0x00007f7f 0x7f7ff2ba7e40: 0xf2bbbfcc 0x00007f7f 0xf2bbdff0 0x00007f7f 0x7f7ff2ba7e50: 0xf2bbfff0 0x00007f7f 0xf2bc1ffc 0x00007f7f 0x7f7ff2ba7e60: 0xf2bc3fcc 0x00007f7f 0xf2bc5ff0 0x00007f7f 0x7f7ff2ba7e70: 0xf2bc7fc4 0x00007f7f 0xf2bc9ff0 0x00007f7f 0x7f7ff2ba7e80: 0xf2bcbff8 0x00007f7f 0xf2bcdff0 0x00007f7f 0x7f7ff2ba7e90: 0xf2bcffe0 0x00007f7f Cannot access memory at address 0x7f7ff2ba7e98 In case it helps, the last element: (gdb) x/1s 0x00007f7ff2bcffe0 0x7f7ff2bcffe0: "gfs33-server.listen-port=49152" It is indeed the last one reported by ps: PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 626 ?
