I’m not using NFS. My mounts are “-t glusterfs”

The whole system hangs for 45+ seconds, which is about what it takes the second node to reboot, no matter what the value of ping-timeout is.  The output of the mnt-log is below.  It shows the adjust value I am currently testing (30s), but the system still hangs for longer than that.

I cannot use my SSH connection, no matter where I am in the system, and services such as httpd become unresponsive.  I can ping the “surviving” system, but other than that it appears pretty unusable.  This is a major drawback to using gluster.  I can’t afford to lost two entire systems if one dies.

The gluster service runs and the volume “starts”, but it is not “online” or mountable until both nodes are running. In a situation where a node fails and we need storage online before we can troubleshoot the cause of the node failure, how do I get a volume to go online?
>>> This is expected behavior. In a two node cluster, if only one is powered on, glusterd will not start other gluster processes (brick, nfs, shd ) until the glusterd of the other node is also up (i.e. quorum is met). If you want to override this behavior, do a `gluster vol start <volname> force` on the node that is up.
