[Gluster-devel] servers keep hanging with fuse errors

[Jordi Moles]

Hi,

what i did was....
because i alread had everything up to date and installed from apt-get, i 
just download fuse kernel, put it /usr/src and decompress it.
Then i make the configure thing, make, make install and reboot. Is that 
all i have to do? i got the impression new kernel was in place and running

the thing is that as soon as i started to send mails to the postfix 
servers, everything went down :( 
However, this time i didn't get that fuse kernel panic, servers are 
still running but it's just impossible to even list a dir content.

nodes reported this:

dovecot-clients didn't report anything. They can't even list either, but 
nothing is logged on the glusterfs.log

The whole configuration file is this:
