[Gluster-users] "Granular locking" - does this need to be enabled in 3.3.0 ?

[Christian Wittwer]

Hi Jake
I can confirm exact the same behaviour with gluster 3.3.0 on Ubuntu 12.04.
During the self-heal process the VM gets 100% I/O wait and  is locked.
After the self-heal the root filesystem was read-only which forced me to do
a reboot and fsck.

Cheers,
Christian
