[Gluster-users] glusterd dead but subsys locked

If you just want to shut down one server in a controlled way, go ahead 
and /bin/shutdown.

Take a look at /etc/rc.d/rc0.d. glusterd and glusterfsd are both in 
there and stop will be run on each. There used to be a glusternfs 
service as well that would be stopped, but apparently it was decided 
that was overkill. Once the management daemon and the bricks are 
stopped, everything else will be killed in the normal kill order.

If you just want to stop the bricks, you can use 'service glusterfsd 
stop'. If you just want to kill one brick, to replace a hard drive for 
instance, you can just kill the one glusterfsd process for that brick.

To start a brick or bricks on that server after its process has been 
killed, 'gluster volume start $vol force' will start it again.
