Hello,
The glusterfs hang, wait for some minutes then goes ahead, then hang... In this 
case the virtual machine hang too, then is back responsive in some minutes, 
then hangs and so on.

Does the Glusterfs just hangs without responding?. Does the hang go on 
infinitely or are you able to interrupt in the middle?.

Hello Harshavardhana

Nope, the ESX Server are installed with Linux and I place the virtual hard disk 
files on gluster.
So I can use Gluster to host the Virtual Machines.

Dear All,

I'm evaluating Gluster 3.0 with VMware ESX 4.
I have one physical server (with 1 SATA HD) installed with Gluster.
It's connected on a Gbit Switch with the port VMKernel of VMware. A single 
switch only for this storage.
I create the volume and on Gluster everything works perfect. The logs are clear 
with the startup. Also do a reboot.

I connect the NFS volume with the GUI of VMware. Works perfect.
I browse the empty store from the GUI and works. I create a directory and it 
works.
I try to browse the directory and the GUI hags... it take minutes for 
displaying the empty folder.

I created a new VM and placed on this Store. Works great
As soon as the machine start and start allocating space, it hang and is 
unresponsive.

I connect with SSH to the console of my VMware server.
I try to copy one virtual machine image file from another store, to the store 
assigned to Gluster.
It hangs, take minutes to browse and hang on copying.
No error on the Gluster log

Any ideas?

To have VMware work also with VMotion I have to setup the NFS with the GUI, I 
can mount normal on the file system.

Thanks for the Help.
Nicola
