To really figure out what's going on you need to strace the smbd process. strace -ttT -o /tmp/smbd.out -p <smbd-pid> If you have the hang then wait some seconds, kill the appropriate smbd and look at /tmp/smbd.out where the smbd has been stuck. 99% it's in a filesystem related call, and then it's a GFS problem. I'm pretty sure this is GFS because I do not see any reason why Samba itself would behave differently when running on two cluster nodes. BTW, it is a _REALLY_ bad idea to export the same fs via two cluster nodes at the same time with current Samba. It _might_ be ok because you have one read only and only one r/w. If you had both r/w then data corruption would inevitably follow, we're right now working on a cluster version of Samba that would allow this properly. Volker
