Unfortunately I'm hitting the same problem with 3.4.0 GA. In case it helps, I increased both the client and server brick logs to TRACE. I've updated the BZ[1] and attached both logs + an strace. Anyone else using XFS backed bricks for hosting KVM images? If so, what xfs mkfs/mount options are you using? Additionally, what format are your KVM images? I'm trying to figure out what is unique about my config. It seems pretty vanilla (one gluster client, one gluster server, one brick, one volume, etc) but I wonder if I'm missing something obvious. -Jacob [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=958781
