Willdo, though I recently added in those lines to help be explicit about behaviour (I had no options set before at all, leaving it to the default of 16 threads). I will remove and specify the default of 16 to see if that helps.

Im adding:

volume trace
  type debug/trace
  subvolumes cache
end-volume

to both sides now as well, so next time (if any) it locks up perhaps there will be some more info.

Thanks Shehjar

I'm experiencing various locking up issues ranging from Gluster locking up ( 'ls'ing the mount hangs ), to the whole machine locking up under load.

I would love to be able to get to the bottom of this, because it seems very strange that we should see erratic behaviour on such a simple setup. There is approx 12Gb of files, and to stress test (and heal) i run ls -alR on the mount. This will run for a while and eventually lock up Gluster, and occasionally the machine. I have found that in some cases killing Gluster and re-mounting does not solve the problem (in that perhaps both servers have entered a locked state in some way). Im finding it very hard to collect and debug information of any use, as there is no crashlog, no errors in the volume log. Can anyone suggest what I migth be able to do to extract more information as to what is occuring at lock-up time?
volume posix
type storage/posix
option directory /home/export
end-volume
volume locks
 type features/locks
 subvolumes posix
end-volume
volume brick
type performance/io-threads
subvolumes locks
option autoscaling on
option min-threads 8
option max-threads 32
end-volume
I see that the max-threads will never exceed 32 which is
a reasonable valueand should work fine in most cases but considering
some of the other reports we've been getting, could you please try again
but without the autoscaling turned on?

It is off by default, so you can simply set the number of threads
you need by:

option thread-count <COUNT>

...instead of the three "option" lines above.
