Hi, I've some results with the following configuration: 2012/1/7 Giovanni Toraldo <gt at libersoft.it>: > In short, for me the problem arised with: 2 bricks ubuntu 10.04 amd64 > in replica 2, nfs client on ubuntu 10.04 i386 with standard GNOME > desktop and Firefox 3.6.24 When mounting without any special option: mount -t nfs stor01.local:/homes /home Gnome session hang immediately after login because of locks (still?) unsupported: Jan 7 16:35:03 ubuntu kernel: [ 362.000188] lockd: server stor01.local not responding, still trying Jan 7 16:35:03 ubuntu kernel: [ 362.070252] lockd: server stor01.local not responding, still trying Jan 7 16:35:03 ubuntu kernel: [ 362.080197] lockd: server stor01.local not responding, still trying Jan 7 16:35:03 ubuntu kernel: [ 362.180253] lockd: server stor01.local not responding, still trying The workaround I've found an year ago was to use the nolock option (shouldn't be mentioned at least as note on documentation?): mount -t nfs -o nolock stor01.local:/homes /home Without locks support explicitly set in the nfs client, GNOME probably fallback in a dont-bother-modality, and I can use it, navigate with Firefox and open OpenOffice documents. However, on stor01 nfs.log there are intermittent afr_self_heal that AFAIK shouldn't occur since the 2 bricks have been always online and I started with empty home directory: [2012-01-07 16:46:42.669515] I [afr-self-heal-common.c:2077:afr_self_heal_completion_cbk] 0-homes-replicate-0: background meta-data self-heal completed on /.openoffice.org/3/user/basic/script.xlc [2012-01-07 16:46:42.676910] I [afr-common.c:1038:afr_launch_self_heal] 0-homes-replicate-0: background meta-data self-heal triggered. path: /.openoffice.org/3/user/basic/Standard/script.xlb [2012-01-07 16:46:42.678672] I [afr-self-heal-common.c:2077:afr_self_heal_completion_cbk] 0-homes-replicate-0: background meta-data self-heal completed on /.openoffice.org/3/user/basic/Standard/script.xlb [2012-01-07 16:46:42.704952] I [afr-common.c:1038:afr_launch_self_heal] 0-homes-replicate-0: background meta-data self-heal triggered. path: /.openoffice.org/3/user/basic/dialog.xlc [2012-01-07 16:46:42.706662] I [afr-self-heal-common.c:2077:afr_self_heal_completion_cbk] 0-homes-replicate-0: background meta-data self-heal completed on /.openoffice.org/3/user/basic/dialog.xlc [2012-01-07 16:46:42.713808] I [afr-common.c:1038:afr_launch_self_heal] 0-homes-replicate-0: background meta-data self-heal triggered. path: /.openoffice.org/3/user/basic/Standard/dialog.xlb [2012-01-07 16:46:42.716074] I [afr-self-heal-common.c:2077:afr_self_heal_completion_cbk] 0-homes-replicate-0: background meta-data self-heal completed on /.openoffice.org/3/user/basic/Standard/dialog.xlb [2012-01-07 16:46:42.733236] I [afr-common.c:1038:afr_launch_self_heal] 0-homes-replicate-0: background meta-data self-heal triggered. path: /.openoffice.org/3/user/basic/Standard/Module1.xba Is this expected? -- Giovanni Toraldo - LiberSoft http://www.libersoft.it
