[Gluster-devel] Weird lock-ups

[Gordan Bobic]

Thank you.

Thinking about it, could it be that symlinking to a different FS (that 
doesn't exist on the other node) is what causes the lock-uk/crash in 
1.3.x, too? This might explain why syncing from the remote node (invalid 
link) works but from the local node (valid link) hangs.
