Hello everybody,

we use GlusterFS for Cloud Computing and now we have a problem.
We run 3 Filesever and several Webservers.

Config of the Fileservers:

volume posix
     type storage/posix
     option directory /mnt/ebs1
end-volume

volume ebs
   type features/locks
   option mandatory-locks on
   subvolumes posix
end-volume


volume server
     type protocol/server
     option transport-type tcp/server
     option auth.addr.ebs.allow *
     subvolumes ebs
end-volume

Config of the GlusterFS-Clients (the Webservers):

volume fileserver1
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp
  option remote-host fileserver1
  option remote-subvolume ebs
end-volume

volume fileserver2
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp
  option remote-host fileserver2
  option remote-subvolume ebs
end-volume

volume fileserver3
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp
  option remote-host fileserver3
  option remote-subvolume ebs
end-volume

volume afr
   type cluster/replicate
   option favorite-child fileserver1
   subvolumes fileserver1 fileserver2 fileserver3
end-volume


volume writebehind
   type performance/write-behind
   option flush-behind on
   subvolumes afr
end-volume

volume cache
   type performance/io-cache
   option cache-size 512MB
   subvolumes writebehind
end-volume

Most of the time everything is going fine, but sometimes Files  
couldn't be loaded. :-(
The Client Log says:

[2009-12-07 11:43:43] D [client-protocol.c:4735:client_lookup_cbk]  
fileserver1: LOOKUP 12117123/GalleryUI_layout.ss (.../ 
GalleryUI_layout.ss): inode number changed from 4038861 to 4039044
[2009-12-07 11:43:43] D [client-protocol.c:4735:client_lookup_cbk]  
fileserver2: LOOKUP 12117123/GalleryUI_layout.ss (.../ 
GalleryUI_layout.ss): inode number changed from 4038678 to 4038861
[2009-12-07 11:43:43] D [client-protocol.c:4735:client_lookup_cbk]  
fileserver3: LOOKUP 12117123/GalleryUI_layout.ss (.../ 
GalleryUI_layout.ss): inode number changed from 4032368 to 4038676


We are using Debian Lenny 5.0 and the GlusterFS Debian Package  
(2.0.2-1) and the Fuse Library 2.7.4-1.1

Can anybody give me a hint how to solve this problem?

Thank you a lot!

Regards,
Christian
