Justice, A quick question - did you start nfs with 'glusterfs' or 'glusterfsd'. If you used 'glusterfs' please retry with 'glusterfsd' and let me know the results.
We have mentioned in the release notes to use 'glusterfsd', but I saw a couple other users face a problem because they used 'glusterfs' ( probably because of the way unfsd or knfs was used ).

Basically: dd if=/dev/full of=testfile bs=1M count=1000 is enough to lock the entire machine. This is on a CentOS 5.4 system with a xen backend (for testing). I don't know what you guys tested with, but I can't get this stable... at all. Justice London [email protected] On Thu, 2010-03-18 at 10:36 -0600, Tejas N.
