> > 1. What is a "process state dump" and how would I get it? 'state dump' is the dump of state the process at the time. It can give details like how many calls pending, how much memory used, where, etc etc. You can get it by sending 'SIGUSR1' to proces. Issue below command. bash# kill -USR1 <pid of glusterfsd brick process> > > 2. How would I determine what process has that subvolume?

Here, in your specific case, get the statedump of 'Brick3' from your 'gluster volume info' details. If '$hostname:$exportdir' is your brick, you can determine which process is exporting that brick by below steps bash# ssh -l root $hostname ps aux | grep $exportdir Hope this is informative, also I hope you still have the all the process running (if you had done 'gluster volume stop' any time inbetween or restarted the node/brick process, you may want to re-create the issue and then take statedump.
