[Gluster-users] AFR issue when server fails

[Keith Freedman]

ok, so I ran into another afr problem tonight.

I have 2 servers afr-ing eachother.
one of them had a keniption and was in some strange half working state.
the other one was working fine.

I rebooted the half working one and gluster hung on the other one.
it failed to timeout as expected, and just sat there until the other 
machine was pingable. then it realized it was there but not accepting 
connections (since it wasn't up enough to mount the filesystem 
yet).  At this point the good server started moving along ok.

so it seems that AFR does the right thing when the IP address is 
connectable but the AFR process or port isn't responding, but if the 
machine/ip is completely down, then it just hangs seemingly forever.
