[Gluster-users] machine crashes while performing rsync on glusterfs mounted share

[Merlin Morgenstern]

I am running ubuntu 14.04 as guest inside virtualbox 5.0.3 on OS X. While
performing rsync on a glusterfs (3.7.x) mounted share with over 100.000
files, the entire machine crashes.

There is one particular /var/log/syslog entry of interest:

    INFO: task rsync:4114 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

What could be the potential cause of this and how could I prevent this from
happening again?
