> My config is gluster 1.3.7/fuse2.7.0-glfs5, linux 2.6.16.55. We have 3
> clients and 3 servers (1 client and 1 server on each host) on a 100Mb
> network with 5ms round trip between clients and servers. The 3 clients
> replicate with afr on client side over the 3 servers (cf the end of
> message for gluster stack details).

> file cluster-root/var/lock/fs-stress.lock located on gluster file
> system. The script runs fine and locking mechanism seems to works well,
> at least as expected. But I have strange error message I dont understand
> in glusterfs client logs:

> On the client (op1) that effectively takes the lock in that example, I
