[Gluster-users] Replication not working on server hang

[Justice London]

Just wanted to chime in that the EXACT same issue has occurred for me. I was
going to work through the support chain but given that others are seeing it
and hopefully have logs, perhaps I don't need to do so.

Basically, I hope it can be fixed!

You are suffering from the problem we talked about few days ago on the list.
If your local fs produces a deadlock somehow on one server glusterfs is
currently unable to cope with the situation and just _waits_ for things to
come. This deadlocks your clients, too, without any need.
Your experience backs my critics on the handling of these situations.
