Hello all, I am evaluating glusterfs currently and therefore use a testbed consisting of four (real) boxes, two configured as fileservers, two as clients, see configs below. All I have to do to make the fs hang on both clients (sooner or later) is to run bonnie (a simple fs check program) constantly on the mounted tree. I am using glusterfs 2.0.2 from the qa-release tree on a stock 2.6.29.4 kernel with opensuse 11.1 as base. The hang shows up within 12 hours runtime. If you kill the hanging glusterfs client process and re-mount everything works again - no restart of the box necessary. Any ideas? test script: #! /bin/bash ( cd /test # glusterfs mount point while true; do bonnie done ) server-config (both equal): volume posix type storage/posix option directory /p3 end-volume volume locks type features/locks subvolumes posix end-volume volume p3 type performance/io-threads option thread-count 8 subvolumes locks end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type tcp option auth.addr.p3.allow * subvolumes p3 end-volume client config (both equal): volume remote1 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp option remote-host 192.168.0.101 option remote-subvolume p3 end-volume volume remote2 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp option remote-host 192.168.0.102 option remote-subvolume p3 end-volume volume replicate type cluster/replicate option data-self-heal on option metadata-self-heal on option entry-self-heal on subvolumes remote1 remote2 end-volume volume readahead type performance/read-ahead # option page-size 1MB # unit in bytes option page-count 8 # cache per file = (page-count x page-size) subvolumes replicate end-volume volume writebehind type performance/write-behind # option aggregate-size 1MB # option window-size 1MB option cache-size 128MB option flush-behind on subvolumes readahead end-volume volume cache type performance/io-cache option cache-size 512MB subvolumes writebehind end-volume Btw: the commented options are not recognised according to the logs ... -- Regards, Stephan
