Hi Joe, since I only use GlusterFS in production, I cannot reboot my servers whenever I want (mainly due to this "VM freeze" issue). I'll try it next time I have to reboot them, probably in the next two weeks.

I get the same issue after rebooting a brick belonging to a 2 x 2 volume and the same is true for João P. and Nick M. (added in cc).

It seems someone solved the problem using cgroups: http://www.gluster.org/author/andrew-lau / Anyway, I think it's not easy to implement because cgroups is already configured and in use for libvirt, if I had a test environment and some spare time I would have tried.

I have a replicated+distributed setup of 4 bricks (2x2). The cluster contains images for a couple of kvm virtual machines. My problem is that when I reboot a brick containing a an image of a VM, the VM will start throwing disk errors and eventually die. The gluster volume is made like this: # gluster vol info pool Volume Name: pool Type: Distributed-Replicate Volume ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 x 2 = 4 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: srv10g:/data/gluster/brick Brick2: srv11g:/data/gluster/brick Brick3: srv12g:/data/gluster/brick Brick4: srv13g:/data/gluster/brick Options Reconfigured: network.ping-timeout: 10 cluster.server-quorum-type: server diagnostics.client-log-level: WARNING auth.allow: 192.168.0.*,127.* nfs.disable: on The KVM instances run on the same gluster bricks, with disks mounted as : file=gluster://localhost/pool/images/vm-xxx-disk-1.raw,.......,cache=writethrough,aio=native My self-heal backlog is not always 0. It looks like some writes are not going to all bricks at the same time (?). gluster vol heal pool info sometime shows the images needing sync on one brick, the other or both. There are no network problems or errors on the wire. Any ideas what could be causing this ? Thanks.
