I am hoping someone can give me some direction on this. I have been searching and trying various tweaks all day. I am trying to setup a two-node cluster with a replicated volume. Each node has a brick under /export, and a local mount using glusterfs under /mnt.
	gluster volume create test1 rep 2 g01.x.local:/exports/sdb1/brick g02.x.local:/exports/sdb1/brick 
	gluster volume start test1
	mount -t glusterfs g01.x.local:/test1 /mnt/test1
When I write a file to one node, it shows up instantly on the other… just as I expect it to. The volume was created as:

My problem is that if I reboot one node, the mount on the other completely hangs until the rebooted node comes back up. This seems to defeat the purpose of being highly-available. Is there some setting I am missing? How do I keep the volume on a single node alive during a failure?
Any info is appreciated. Thank you.
