Hi Raghavendra,

Thanks for the response.  I played with it a bit today, but I don't have
any good news - see below.

Unfortunately it does it with both disabled.  I ran tcpdump the machine
which was playing up and there didn't appear to be any traffic, either
locally or to the other servers.

Sorry, I should have been clearer, it is the glusterfs client.
glusterfsd never seems to go above 10% even under load.  it is only 1
glusterfs process and it max's out a whole core.
