after copying some few thousands files and deleting and copying again
i get a lot of errors:
File descriptor in bad state
No such file or directory
and a lot of
[Jun 26 05:45:13] [CRITICAL/tcp.c:81/tcp_disconnect()] transport/tcp:server:
connection to server disconnected
[Jun 26 05:45:13] [ERROR/common-utils.c:55/full_rw()] libglusterfs:full_rw:
0 bytes r/w instead of 113 (errno=9)
in the glusterd.log
I have set it up like this:
1.3-pre4
5 servers + 5 clients (running on same boxes as servers).
what could cause the disconnection ?
server:

option directory /mnt/gluster/afr-gfs1
