Re: [Linux-cluster] GFS freezing

[Scott Money lycos-inc com]

We are seeing a similar issue. We have
a 3 node gfs system that uses a gnbd server as storage. We originally ran
into this problem quite frequently, but hard-setting our NICs to 100Mbit
 full duplex has limited the system freezes to "large" data
transfers. (e.g. copying 500mb files via scp or creating 500mb Oracle tablespaces).
The good news is that the fencing works ;-)

Let me know if you get any information
about this.

Subject	[Linux-cluster] GFS freezing

Hi,

   I am wondering what is going wrong with my setup.  I am running
a
min-gfs setup with 2 nodes accessing the storage server.  The node
that
is the storage server is also acting as a client node.  So I have
2
physical systems only.  I have brought up the cluster and it works
fine.  Both systems can access the gfs share and what not.  When
I go to
copy data to the share with rsync, or scp or cp, they gfs system freezes
and doesn't finish putting the data on gfs.  It will get about half
way
through and that's it.  Have I missed something in the setup or what
else would I be missing?

Thanks,

Jon
