My server freezes every time when I run the following command: dd if=/dev/zero of=garb bs=256k count=64000 I would also like to mount a path like: /volume/some/random/dir # mount host:/gluster/tmp /mnt/test mount: host:/gluster/tmp failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory I can mount it up host:/volume_name and /mnt/test/tmp exists dd if=/dev/zero of=garb bs=64K count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 6553600 bytes (6.6 MB) copied, 0.068906 seconds, 95.1 MB/s dd of=garb if=/dev/zero bs=64K count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 6553600 bytes (6.6 MB) copied, 0.057207 seconds, 115 MB/s dd if=/dev/zero of=garb bs=64K count=1000 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 65536000 bytes (66 MB) copied, 0.523117 seconds, 125 MB/s dd of=garb if=/dev/zero bs=64K count=1000 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 65536000 bytes (66 MB) copied, 1.04666 seconds, 62.6 MB/s dd if=/dev/zero of=garb bs=64K count=10000 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 655360000 bytes (655 MB) copied, 10.9809 seconds, 59.7 MB/s dd of=garb if=/dev/zero bs=64K count=10000 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 655360000 bytes (655 MB) copied, 11.3515 seconds, 57.7 MB/s dd if=/dev/zero of=garb bs=128K count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 13107200 bytes (13 MB) copied, 0.105364 seconds, 124 MB/s dd of=garb if=/dev/zero bs=128K count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 13107200 bytes (13 MB) copied, 0.254225 seconds, 51.6 MB/s dd if=/dev/zero of=garb bs=128K count=1000 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 131072000 bytes (131 MB) copied, 60.1008 seconds, 2.2 MB/s dd of=garb if=/dev/zero bs=128K count=1000 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 131072000 bytes (131 MB) copied, 1.51868 seconds, 86.3 MB/s dd if=/dev/zero of=garb bs=128K count=10000 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 1310720000 bytes (1.3 GB) copied, 18.7755 seconds, 69.8 MB/s dd of=garb if=/dev/zero bs=128K count=10000 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 1310720000 bytes (1.3 GB) copied, 18.9837 seconds, 69.0 MB/s dd if=/dev/zero of=garb bs=256k count=64000 My server freezes.
