[Gluster-devel] 2.0.9 hanging bug

So 3.0.5 has turned out to be even more of a nightmare than 2.0.9 -- at least 2.0.9 worked until a machine shutdown unexpectedly.

At the stroke of midnight all my clients got stale nfs handles and were no longer able to access files on the filesystem.   Had to kill glusterfs and all programs with open files, unmount and remount.

Here is a sample of the errors in the client logs:
	[2010-09-23 00:00:00] W [fuse-bridge.c:725:fuse_attr_cbk] glusterfs-fuse: 3408010: LOOKUP() / => -1 (Stale NFS file handle)
	[2010-09-23 00:00:16] W [fuse-bridge.c:725:fuse_attr_cbk] glusterfs-fuse: 3408056: LOOKUP() / => -1 (Stale NFS file handle)

There are no errors or warnings in the server logs.

clients are running 3.0.5 and ubuntu 9.04/9.10

does anyone have any idea what going on?  i'm losing all confidence is this product.
