[Gluster-users] Need help: Mount -t glusterfs hangs

[Anirban Ghoshal]

Hello,

I am facing an intermittent issue with the mount.glusterfs program freezing up. Investigation reveals that it is not exactly the mount system call but the 'stat' call from within mount.glusterfs that is actually hung. Any other command such as df or ls also hang. 

I opened a redhat bugzilla bug against this. It has more details on the precise observation and steps followed. What intrigues me is that as soon as I set a volume option such as one for diagnostics or maybe the statedump path, the problem goes away. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as this is causing problems with some server replacement procedures I am trying out. 

Thanks a lot, 
Anirban
