I was under the impression that by configuring a system as a client connected to 4 server nodes that if one of the nodes went down the client would still be able to access the data from some kind of failover to the other nodes. However I set up a test an failed the server that was listed as the last connected server from the log file and attempted to access the exported/mounted filesystem on the client and recieved an "Stale NFS file handle" error. Also here is some messages from the log file: cf02: connection to 10.50.14.32:6996 failed (No route to host) [2010-02-08 11:09:24] W [fuse-bridge.c:722:fuse_attr_cbk] glusterfs-fuse: 88: LOOKUP() / => -1 (Stale NFS file handle) Is it not possible for a client to have HA to the exported filesystem?
