[Linux-cluster] GFS freezing

[Scott.Money at 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.

[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
