[Gluster-users] Gluster crashes when cascading AFR

[Rainer Schwemmer]

Hi Vikas,

Thanks for the quick answer. 

Yeah, I figured it would be slow. That's why im trying to cascade it
instead of having 2000 subvolumes directly attached to the top node :)

Anyway, I'll have a go at the 1.4.0.rc2 version in the meantime and let
you know if it also crashes.

Cheers,
  Rainer
