[Gluster-users] Geo-replication broken in 3.4 alpha2?

[Venky Shankar]

Looks like you may be running into this bug: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905871

can you gdb to the client process (on the master) and give the backtrace?

Currently it has only 2 VM's running and disk usage is around 15 GB. I have been trying to set up a geo-replication for disaster recovery testing. For geo-replication I did following:

I tried using strace -p 27756 to see what was going on but there was no output at all. My next thought was that maybe running virtual machines are causing some trouble so I shut down all VMs and restarted geo-replication but it didn't have any effect. My last effort was to crete new clean volume without any data in it and try geo-replication with it - no luck there either.
