[Gluster-users] Unable to make HA work; mounts hang on remote node reboot

[CJ Baar]

Thanks, Corey. At the moment I only have two nodes to play with. If I am able to add third, would you recommend using “replicate 3” on the volume, or is that overkill?
I understand what you mean with the quorum, but for my purposes, it would be nice to be able to say “you may not be able to write during a node failure, but you can still read.”

The whole system hangs for 45+ seconds, which is about what it takes the second node to reboot, no matter what the value of ping-timeout is.  The output of the mnt-log is below.  It shows the adjust value I am currently testing (30s), but the system still hangs for longer than that.

I cannot use my SSH connection, no matter where I am in the system, and services such as httpd become unresponsive.  I can ping the “surviving” system, but other than that it appears pretty unusable.  This is a major drawback to using gluster.  I can’t afford to lost two entire systems if one dies.
