[Gluster-devel] Centos 4.4 clients fail to connect to server

[Justin McAleer]

I'm trying to set up a simple NFS-like test setup with a couple of 
CentOS 4.4 servers. The server (brick) is working fine, but I cannot get 
the client side to work. It seems to not even successfully open a tcp 
connection. CentOS 5 clients are working with the 4.4 server (brick). 
Here is the debug output from glusterfs:

<hangs>

The server (brick) never sees an incoming connection. I'm running 
1.3.0-pre3 on x86_64, and tried two different machines as clients. In 
fact, the current brick was originally my client (which showed the same 
behavior as above). Any ideas?

I tried turning on the trace translator, but it didn't appear to do 
anything, and glusterfs segfaulted when I ran umount in another terminal 
to "unhang" the process.
