Andre, 

I've not explored using a DNS solution to publish the gluster cluster 
addressing space but things you'll want to check out are network.ping-timeout 
and whether or not your VM goes read-only on filesystem error. If your network 
is consistent and robust tuning network.ping-timeout to a very low value such 
as three seconds will instruct the client to drop that client on failure. The 
default value for this is 42 seconds which will cause your VM to go read-only 
as you've seen. You could also choose to have your VM's mount their partitions 
errors=continue as well depending on the filesystem they run. Our setup has 
timeout at seven seconds and errors=continue and has survived both testing and 
storage node segfaults. No data integrity issues have presented yet but our 
data is mostly temporal so integrity hasn't been tested thoroughly. Also we're 
qemu 2.0 running gluster 3.6 on ubuntu 14.04 for those curious. 

Best, 
Josh

Could you share the output of 'gluster volume info', and also information as to 
which node went down on reboot?

Subject: [Gluster-users] VM fs becomes read only when one gluster node goes 
down 

Hi, 

i have a 4 node Glusterfs 3.5.6 Cluster. 

My VM images are in an replicated distributed volume which is accessed 
from kvm/qemu via libgfapi. 

Mount is against storage.domain.local which has IPs for all 4 Gluster 
nodes set in DNS. 

When one of the Gluster nodes goes down (accidently reboot) a lot of the 
vms getting read only filesystem. Even when the node comes back up. 

How can i prevent this? 
I expect that the vm just uses the replicated file on the other node, 
without getting ro fs. 

Any hints? 

Thanks in advance.
