[Linux-cluster] Slow Start on Storage Access

[isplist at logicore.net]

Maybe I missed this in some of the other postings.

After I mount a GFS volume, there is always a delay when I first access the 
volume. I'm guessing somewhere between 30 seconds to 45 perhaps. This happens 
on first access and if the node has been idle for some time.

Is this because the node needs to do some calculations, get a fresh index or 
details about the storage, then it's fine?
