[Gluster-devel] Problem with Firefox/Mozilla on GlusterFS

[Anand Avati]

> Indeed, I am referring to the RedHat Package Manager. Quite simply put, if /var/lib/rpm is on GlusterFS, any attempt to use rpm fails. I tried various flags in DB_CONFIG in /var/lib/rpm that should have, in theory, disabled mmap usage, but they made no difference, all rpm operations would fail even before rpm finished creating it's /var/lib/rpm/__* lock files.

Can you post the log files of the session where Mozilla misbehaved?
