Sorry, I forgot to mention that at this point, restarting gluster on server 15 leads to reconnect of the KVM client. [2014-04-21 16:29:40.634713] I [server-handshake.c:567:server_setvolume] 0-gtest-server: accepted client from s15-213620-2014/04/21-09:53:17:688030-gtest-client-1-0 (version: 3.4.3) >From this traces, I'm inclined to point towards KVM's handling of the errors. The 1.7 trunk that I'm using (stable development) is here: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/stable-1.7/block/gluster.c I don't see anything dealing with connection problems and reconnects. This is why I assumed that libgfapi is responsible for maintaining connections to the bricks and to reestablish them as needed (makes sense, but feel free to prove me wrong).
