Also I would think that strace -tt -f from the client and servers (client and brick processes) could be useful, but the time would have to be synchronized. I think that would best identify a possible race. My suspicion is that it's the same as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=765512 (which I still see with 3.3.0). It would also be wise, if you have a reproducible problem like that, to file a bug report. If it is a duplicate, as you were asking in -devel, someone will mark it so and you'll have your answer, otherwise they can ask for more information and fix it so we all win. :D https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=GlusterFS
