Aha, thank you very much. Checking back to the node in question then I find 'service gluster status' returning ok. Although the process controlling my volume wasn't running (maybe status could be a little more thorough), the error I found was: [2011-04-26 11:10:03.461515] W [glusterfsd.c:700:cleanup_and_exit] (-->/lib64/libc.so.6(clone+0x6d) [0x7fa620587c2d] (-->/lib64/libpthread.so.0(+0x6ccb) [0x7fa620849ccb] (-->/opt/glusterfs/3.2.0/sbin/glusterfsd(glusterfs_sigwaiter+0xd5) [0x405bf5]))) 0-: received signum (15), shutting down I've done a restart and now have a working node again.
