Hi

This leads me to believe that this is a cluster problem,
not a GFS problem.  If a node is fenced, GFS can't give out
new locks until the fenced node is properly deal with by
the cluster software.  Therefore, GFS can appear to hang until
the dead node is resolved.  Did web1-gfs get rebooted and
brought back in to the cluster?
