[Gluster-users] replicated volume - blocked access after on brick fails

[lukas]

Hi,

I have a replicated gluster volume consisting of two bricks
Volume Name: gvolrep
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: 8c5dfd6e-775d-44fd-9c72-c37314428c0d
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: vm-1:/srv/brick/gluster_node1
Brick2: vm-2:/srv/brick/gluster_node2

The problem is that after I turn off , let's say node2, glusterfs is 
blocking access for almost 1min on node1. Is this to be expected and why?

Thank  you in advance!
