Niels,
> 1. how is infiniband involved/configured in this environment?
gfsib01bkp and gfs02bkp are connected via infiniband. We are using tcp
transport as I never was able to get RDMA to work.
Volume Name: gfsbackup
Type: Distribute
Volume ID: e78d5123-d9bc-4d88-9c73-61d28abf0b41
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 7
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: gfsib01bkp.corvidtec.com:/data/brick01bkp/gfsbackup
Brick2: gfsib01bkp.corvidtec.com:/data/brick02bkp/gfsbackup
Brick3: gfsib02bkp.corvidtec.com:/data/brick01bkp/gfsbackup
Brick4: gfsib02bkp.corvidtec.com:/data/brick02bkp/gfsbackup
Brick5: gfsib02bkp.corvidtec.com:/data/brick03bkp/gfsbackup
Brick6: gfsib02bkp.corvidtec.com:/data/brick04bkp/gfsbackup
Brick7: gfsib02bkp.corvidtec.com:/data/brick05bkp/gfsbackup
> 2. was there a change/update of the driver (kernel update maybe?)
Before upgrading these servers from gluster 3.6.6 to 3.7.6, I did a 'yum
update' which did upgrade the kernel.
Current kernel is 2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64
> 3. do you get a coredump of the glusterfsd process when this happens?
There are a series of core files in / around the same time that this
happens.

> 4. is this a fuse mount process, or a brick process? (check by PID?)
I have rebooted the machine as it was in a bad state and I could no
longer write to the gluster volume.
When it does it again, I will check the PID.
This machine has both brick processses and fuse mounts. The storage
servers mount the volume through a fuse mount and then I use rsync to
backup my primary storage system.
