I've seen some curious "hangs" once a month or so with glusterfs 2.x and 
"normal" system usage - but I didn't have a way to reproduce it (I 
didn't try iozone, though).

I upgraded to glusterfs 3.0.4 and hoped it will cure my hangs, then 
thought it's a good idea to test it with iozone... And hence the hangs.

So no, other than iozone, I don't have any other way to reproduce it.
