Deleting large files on sharded volume hangs and doesn't delete shards

[Walter Deignan <WDeignan@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a reproducible issue where attempting
to delete a file large enough to have been sharded hangs. I can't kill
the 'rm' command and eventually am forced to reboot the client (which in
this case is also part of the gluster cluster). After the node finishes
rebooting I can see that while the file front-end is gone, the back-end
shards are still present.

Is this a known issue? Any way to get around
it?
