Just to forestall the question "have you > tried adding the storage without the replica 2 parameters?" - yes, I have, > and that gives me a set of servers in which taking down any one node causes > all clients to hang until that node comes back up - I posted an earlier > thread asking for help with that here: > http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2011-March/006886.html > > > About mount point hanging till all the nodes come up, we have fixed similar bug in 3.1.3 release, please give it a try and see if it works fine.
