I ran the same dd tests from KnowYourNFSAlpha-1.pdf and performance is
inconsistent and causes the server to become unresponsive.

My server freezes every time when I run the following command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=garb bs=256k count=64000

I would also like to mount a path like: /volume/some/random/dir 

# mount host:/gluster/tmp /mnt/test
mount: host:/gluster/tmp failed, reason given by server: No such file or
directory

I can mount it up host:/volume_name and /mnt/test/tmp exists

My server freezes.


Here is the recent nfs log when the server froze:
