Do you mean you were unable to login to the machine over the network? unable to have a responsive console shell? machine would not respond to ICMP on the network? Do you still have the logfiles and volfiles and can you describe the steps to reproduce in a bug report?

As a thumb rule, if your server hangs to the degree of not even having a usable shell, it just means that heavy IO via glusterfs triggered some bug in the operating system. try to get kernel output via dmesg or console logs if you have any. glusterfsd only issues system calls and does not do anything funky with the server. Think of some application local to the server causing such a hung. glusterfsd is no different in that respect.
